I made all the pattern adjustments this morning to the pattern-two people indicated that the shoulder was long so made an adjustment to the length. I found the sleeves to be very snug when pin fitting the pattern so added width to those. I also made swayback and forward shoulder adjustment.
I also made a small FBA. I know most people said the pattern ran large. I purchased the xs-s-m size pattern based on upper chest measurement and will cut out the medium size pattern buying. The finished width per the pattern is 36 which is a tad to snug for me. Decided that I needed this adjustment and since it is a stretch fabric I would not made a larger than an inch FBA. I think before I cut into this boucle knit fabric:
I will sew up a double knit that I have in my stash that I have used in some other projects and have enough to test the pattern with it. If it works, then I will have another cardigan to wear in a different color.
Off to the sewing room-trying to make good use of my vacation time getting in some sewing! This cardigan jacket was to be my December Project of the Month.
