Yes, in my favorite outfit, a cardigan and I am loving this one.
My fabric is from Surge Fabric Shop, a great sweater knit and do note it is thick and warm and stretchy! The Paro Cardigan calls for a medium weight knit with 10-25% stretch. If it has more than 25% stretch then size down, which I did as this knit has 50% stretch.. I went with Kennis suggestions and sized down.
I did have to stitch the pleats down even more than the pattern suggests, the fabric is just too fluffy! I probably will stitch them down more from the waist to the bust to help the fabric lay flat and take up the fullness. A the point where the stitching stops on the pleats, the fabric just opens right up.
You can read more about the construction on the Itch to Stitch Blog, on this post I am concentrating on the embroidery on the waistband. I loved using the other side of this sweater knit for contrast but wanted it to have more, something unexpected. You guessed it, I added some embroidery!
The Pfaff Creative Icon has 812 built in embroidery designs and this in one of them, just reduced a bit to fit in the width of my waistband.
I didn't want to overdo the embroidery, so I tested it out and played with placement, I decided one on each front and three on the back. I used a lightweight cutaway stabilizer and stitched them out. It went quickly, not a high stitch content and one color. I loved the result.
How do you like the embroidery on the Paro Cardigan?
I love this cardigan and it is a great one which has some extra design options, pleats, collars, peplum type bottom and waistband. I plan on making it in a thinner type fabric for my next one.
Thanks Kennis for letting me a part of this Make It Wear It Series.
This is SO cute, Lori!

ReplyDeleteMy wish right now is that God should continue to bless Dr Emu for his good works towards the life of those people who are heart broken. My name is Michael DeBruin and I am from the USA, it's been a while since my lover's attitude changed from being the caring type she has been to me, but later turned out not to be caring at all. But not long, I later discovered that my lover was having an affair with someone else. and also she told me she doesn't need me after all we pass through then a friend told me about a spell caster. that with the spell I will get back my woman, I took his cell number then called him and also what's-app him which he reply to me and I did some sacrifices to the spell man and he bought the items for me which he used for the sacrifices and later called me that before 48 hours my love will come back to me and now we are more in love with each other than ever. you can reach him on WhatsApp +2347012841542 or reach him via mail ; emutemple@gmail.com , my lover returned back and broke up with the other guy she was having a relationship with... Thank you Dr Emu.
