I cut out this pattern while in the sewing room this morning. I made pattern adjustments last weekend so it was ready to go. I am making view D which is the gray color one in the right upper corner.
I saw this one button cardigan at Nordstroms; this is just one example of several I saw in a December catalog. I immediately knew I had a pattern to make this. I am using fabric from my stash
I have had this fabric forever, perhaps 6 to 7 years; purchased from Fabric.com. It has 4 way stretch and very light weight. I remember when it arrived I was not thrilled with it as it was not what I thought it was going to be. Numerous times I have thought about giving it to Goodwill and then would decide not to. I think it will work well for this pattern and if not then I will chalk it up as my test garment and then try something else.
I went for easy peasy this time after completing the Vogue dress that took more time and effort and worth it I think.
I have gone 10 days and not clicked buy for any patterns. I bought some banker boxes and putting those together to better organize my current pattern stash and have been trying to catalog my patterns on Evernote. It is a daunting project but keeping me on the "wagon" so to speak.
More later.
That fabric is going to make a gorgeous cardigan.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, the fabric did not do well for this pattern. I am posting about this soon.
DeleteFrom the pictures, I think your fabric will make a beautiful jacket from this pattern. Good luck with your pattern organization!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the fabric did not do well for this pattern. I am going to post about that soon.
DeleteAn easy and simplicity pattern is always welcomed after completing a challenging project. I love that fabric and can't wait to see your finished project.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. Unfortunately the fabric did not work well for this pattern.
DeleteHow lovely to be able to just whip up something you've seen in RTW from patterns and fabric on hand :) I've been doing the same recently, as have found a great way to clean up the sewing space is to sew! Looks like a lovely warm and stylish cardigan.
ReplyDeleteI too love it when you see RTW and no you can make it.
DeleteGreat fabric for the cardi.. I am presently on pattern and fabric diet for now. Happy sewing
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately it did not turn out to be the right fabric for this pattern. I am doing well on pattern diet but not for fabric though I should put off some fabric purchases.
DeleteIt's a really unique print, and I can imagine with the 4 way stretch it draping really nicely on a cardigan. Hope it goes well!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately there is no drape with this fabric even with four way stretch. More post to follow about change of plans.
