Making progress with the cardi. Using a real fiddly knit fabric for this test version. Here is the cardi on Alma Marie with neckband pinned to neckline. Alma Marie has much wider shoulders than I do, so fit is off. Speaking of shoulders I used a 38 for the neckline, shoulder and upper chest. The shoulders were just too wide and I cut off 1/2 inch and fit is better. I still may need to shave off more on another version. The bust to bottom I used a 42 for the front and 40 for the back.
I am making the waist length, 3/4 quarter sleeve version.
I took advantage of Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales following Thanksgiving. I purchased several patterns from Sewaholic which arrived yesterday. Here's what I purchased
I also saw a review on Pattern Review of a
flared leg pant that I liked. McCall's 6515 is now OOP and I found it on Etsy. I also saw a cute jacket pattern, also OOP by Vogue.
That's all there is for sewing this weekend.
