Hooded Scarf: Vintage and OOP Vogue 2793

This is a gift sewing project.  The plan was to save it as a Christmas gift but the cold weather arrived and it didn't seem right to wait.  

I was drawn to vintage and out-of-print (OOP) Vogue 2793 for the hooded scarf.  According to Vintage Patterns Wikia, this pattern is from 1982.  It's self-lined and made in a merino wool.  I am certain this will provide ample protection during a prairie winter.  

This pattern is a keeper.  The instructions were lovely, although I did skip the section that calls for seam binding at the bottom of the hood piece.  It just seemed unnecessary.  And it worked out fine.  No dislikes with this pattern.  

Sewing IS Political

This is a Canadian 🍁 made and tariff free project.  The fabric and the pattern were both purchased in 2023 before the convicted felon and his cohort were re-elected (and elected) into office and started their tariff war on the world and trying to interfering in other countries policies and launching gaslighting tactics.  Sewing continues to be a reprieve from the chaos.  

Thank goodness for a stash, the worktable and some good tunes for the escape.  The merino wool fabric was in the stash for a couple of years, purchased from Marshall Fabrics, a Canadian fabric outlet.  The pattern, OOP Vogue 2793, is a vintage find and came from a Canadian Etsy seller.  It was purchased around the same time as the fabric.  The fabric scissors are Merchant and Mills, a United Kingdom company and were purchased from The Workroom, a Canadian fabric outlet.  The threads have been in the stash for years.  The cotton thread used on the sewing machine is Gütermann threads from Greece.  The silk thread used for hand stitching is Gütermann threads and are Swiss made.  The threads used on the serger state they are from Indonesia.
