Sizes: XS to XXL ( I cut a Small).
Instructions: They were easy to follow. The hardest part of the cardigan is the collar but the instructions are easy to follow. Once this step is completed, the rest is easy and the cardigan is quick to sew.
Likes/Dislikes: Another variation of the cardi-wrap. Simplicity and Jalie have one of these in their pattern line and I have made both of those patterns. I picked this one up at a pattern sale at Joann's and thougth I would try another variation. Each of the patterns have bits and pieces I like from each. This one I like the collar and the sleeves.
Fabric: I think it is matter jersey or something similar I purchased from Gorgeous Fabrics a few months back.
Changes: My only change was not to hem the garment, except for the sleeves. There would have been quite a bit of hemming, so I left it off.
Conclusion: I might sew this one up again if I found the right fabric. I do enjoy wearing this type of garment.
One more thing to like about this pattern/style of garment, is the many ways you can wear the cardigan
You could sing in our choir this month with those colors! :) I like the cardi...and I'm wondering how many different versions of the drape-front cardigan I really need... this one isn't so overwhelming in the front drapiness...hm...
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute. I love that color combination.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Thanks for the comparison against the Jalie version too. I've been eyeing this McCalls pattern but wondered if I really needed another drape-front cardi pattern. I think I do. :)
ReplyDeleteYay! I bought this during McCall's sale. I will have to hurry up and make it!
ReplyDeleteNice, and I like the styling. I'll have to add this to my list for the next McCall's sale :-)
ReplyDeletethis looks great for a day walking on the beach, I love the necklace. Great color
ReplyDeleteLike the jacket and you!choice of fabric. I just made the same jacket only I used a heavier knit. I still have all the hemming to do!
ReplyDeleteYou really are on a roll lately - combining great patterns and fabrics.
ReplyDeleteThe subtle grey looks fantastic with the pale salmon top. So pretty, and sophisticated!
ReplyDeleteI love the drape and look of the fabric. Looks really nice.
ReplyDeleteThe combo of gray and--coral? is very pretty. I could use a whole wardrobe of this type of cardi.
ReplyDeleteReally cute Lori!
ReplyDeleteReally nice, Lori. I am thinking of making a short-sleeved cardigan too for summer.
ReplyDeleteLovely cardi - the grey is beautiful, very classic and elegant, it looks great paired with that peachy coloured top but will go with so many other colours too. I have got this pattern in my stash - I hope mine looks as nice as yours does when I get around to it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cardigan, Lori. I like it!

This is a pretty cardigan! I like the nice flowing lines of the cardi, and the silhouette it creates!
