Wrapping up in Cozy, Part 2: McCall’s & Vogue Sweatshirts

More snuggly sweatshirts for snowy Sunday snack snarfing! This is McCall’s 6792 (Misses’ Batwing top and dress). I used some wool-blend jersey leftover from my early Marty Feldman wadder.

Today I met Suzanne Somers (pictured on the left, in her role as Chrissy) at an event for work at which her husband was being honoured with an award.
