Alex. Last week I bought the Hypolyta pattern and now have it already cut out to sew. This week I was blown away with the Unwind top and also purchased that pattern. Not only that but I ordered some fabrics yesterday from Lulou and joined their Swatch Club. They arrived today!! Cannot wait to make the Unwind hoodie in some beautiful marine blue heather viscose jersey fabric from them. Many, many thanks you are inspirational.
