M ~ Cassiopeia

This cotton sweater started as a virginia beach logo sweater but I saw potential because the cut and feel of the fabric was a good quality. I have sewn a night time landscape of indigo sky, a moon dyed with buckthorn, elderberry, and marigolds, above madder root hills. The 5 star constellation Cassiopeia is sewn into the sky which can  be seen in north america in the winter at night. 

 21“ wide  under arms x 24“ long from center of collar to hem

NOTE ON FIT ~ These new pieces with patchwork on the front do not stretch in the area the patchwork is sewn on, so it’s ideal to wear them less as a fitted sweater and more as a loose fitted style. If you are considering two different sizes, go for the bigger size. Width under arms is quoted with each item.
