![]() I was surprised that a lot of my seams were sewn with a straight stitch and finished with a zigzag, which also served to flatten out the seam allowances. I made sure to use a walking foot, a jersey/ballpoint needle, and a lighter presser foot pressure, except for the neck facing, where I changed to a stretch needle after some trial and error. I was only a few steps in before I felt like I could trust this pattern. This pattern doesn’t assume you have a serger, and gives clear, thorough instruction, including which direction to sew your seams, when to use a straight stitch and when to zigzag (something not all knit patterns have), and lots of small details that will give you a professional finish. ![]() My favorite part, though, was all the detail that was put into the construction directions. There is a lot of information to help you before you begin, which is great. I opted for the pullover with the collar and rounded chest pocket, but you can also choose a vest, hood, or pointed pocket.Īs soon as I took the pattern instructions out of the envelope and started reading them, I could see that a lot of time, thought, and care had gone into making these directions. This is a unisex pattern with all available sizes in one envelope, and according to my measurements, I was a medium in the chest and waist and a large in the hip, so that’s what I traced. I found Snap Source pastel pink size 16 snaps at Wawak, which I thought looked most like what I was seeing online at Patagonia and L.L. So, I went looking for snaps in the color I wanted, rather than worrying about what “heavy duty” meant. The pattern calls for heavy duty snaps, and I, being a snap novice, didn’t really know what that meant. The colors were great together! Other odds and ends came either from my stash or Joann’s, with the exception of my snaps. Shipping took awhile, but when I finally got everything, I was thrilled. I chose colors I liked together on my computer, and ordered them, hoping they would work in real life. I found Polartec Double Sided Curly Fleece in Sour LemonĪs well as woven Supplex in Dark Turquoise (which I thought was nylon, but the website says is cotton), and a stretchy nylon/spandex Creamy Pink Jersey Knit (no longer available) for my inner neck edging. This website can be a little overwhelming, because there is just so much, but looking at the fabric on a screen bigger than a phone helps. My pattern has a copyright date of 2013 on the envelope.įor fabric, I hit the jackpot at Fashion Fabrics Club. It looks like an older pattern (copyright 1999) and is a slightly different version with a different finish for the sleeves and collar and only one pocket flap option. There is a similar style on The Green Pepper website, number 512. (In fact, this pullover at Patagonia looks amazingly similar to what I ended up making.) I found The Green Pepper F722, Polar Pullover and Vest on Etsy. This style has been around for decades and is probably more well-known from Patagonia, an early adopter of fleece fabric in garments. The pattern in the store may have been a zip-up version, and I was interested in the classic pullover style, but it got me thinking. I had never tried any of these patterns, but I noticed one that was for a fleece jacket like the ones at L.L. That’s what happened when I was contemplating some patterns by The Green Pepper at Joann Fabrics one day. I may only make the food or article of clothing once, but I want to know how it’s made and what it takes to make it. I find this to be the case in both cooking and sewing. ![]() For me, I often want to see what it would be like to make something. Maybe you love construction and couture details. Maybe you can create a designer-inspired piece for an affordable price. If you sew, what drives you to make a particular project? Maybe sometimes it’s wanting your own version of something you saw another person make.

As the owner of your own company, you not only have to be the "face" of your business, but you might have to handle a lot of the administrative tasks, as well. Operating a freelance business isn't for the faint of heart. At first you step on switches, then you put blocks on them, then make enemies step on them, then there are teleport chambers you need to enter and activate switches in several tiny rooms in order to open a big door… Once you feel like you’re getting the hang of the game, it throws a new feature at you to change the way you play, keeping the gameplay fresh. The level design is always innovating, so you never feel like you’re solving the exact same puzzle. Rust Bucket starts pretty simple, with just a few enemies on each floor, and a simple puzzle to solve, like breaking the right pot to show a switch underneath and just step on it once but as you go on, the challenges get tougher, and you’ll have to really plan you’re strategy to face off lots of enemies and come up to ideas to open doors and tricking other characters into activating switches for you. Also, the knight looks sad when you lose. When you attack an enemy, you can see it exploding into tiny pieces, and even if the characters are tiny, you can see they have facial expressions, like the jellies look angry when they’re about to attack, and the pigs open their eyes in surprise when you’re about to hit them. It’s a pretty cool detail and it gives a good feeling of mistery, you never know what you’ll find next. ![]() Sometimes you’ll enter dark areas, and you’ll have light surrounding you, which will get dimmer as it gets further away from the knight. The rooms are usually over a blank background, but you only notice when going to the borders of each floor, and it’s nothing to complain about, since you’ll be focusing in all the action. The rooms are pretty detailed and you can see vegetation, fountains and other stuff for variety. ![]() The characters are pretty colorful and have simple yet nice animation. Rust Bucket features 2D Pixel Art graphics, which are the developer Nitrome’s Specialty. There is no time limit, and it’s not necessary to kill all enemies, but sometimes you need to in order to open a door or something. Every few rooms you’ll find a “C” switch, which is a checkpoint, so you go back there when you lose a life or get stuck. The objective of the game is to explore each level until you find the stairs to the upper floor. Overall, Rust Bucket is more of a puzzle exploration/adventure game, like a simple version of a Zelda dungeon. There are stone pig enemies that don’t attack, but push you around, and in some levels you need to lure them into pressing switches for you. And other switches need to have something on them all the time to keep active their effect. They’re red, and turn green when you step on them. When you’re next to a movable object like a stone block, you’ll push it, and you’ll have to do this often to press switches on the floor. They can be monster jellies, which turn red when they’re about to attack, flying giant skulls which can attack without a warning, humanoid pigs which actually need to spend a turn when turning around, and there’s a giant centipede which follows you around, and each section of its body can turn into a head if you slash it, so if you want to defeat it you need to destroy the whole body. They only advance one space at a time after you make your move. When you’re next to an enemy or clay pot, swipping your finger in its direction will make the knight attack with a sword slash. And if you swipe and keep your finger on the screen, the knight will keep moving in that direction. Swipe left, right, up or down on the screen to move one space. Rust Bucket is a dungeon crawler top-view puzzle adventure where you take control of a tiny knight that must find the exit in each floor. ![]() The three most commonly used fiber drop cables include flat drop cable, figure-8 aerial drop cable and round drop cable.
