Velvet Ribbon

Hi there, I finally finished a wool cardigan and happy with the final result. This cardigan is so comfy and easy to wear. I'm sure I will wear it a lot daily.  For the pattern, I used Burdastyle cardigan pattern 09/2019 size 38 but I changed the finishing with facing, skipped the belt and shortened the sleeve length. And for the fabric, I used a wool blend I bought in the local shop last year. I felt good I managed to use stashed fabric instead buying new one. The original pattern from Burdastyle looks lovely and the belt adds something more but my everyday life is so simple and I don't really think I need a belt.  Also, I decided to finish the cardigan with facing because my fabric was a bit thinner, I fear I will mess up if I follow the original finishing.

I am participating some challenges in Instagram this year, one of them is  #2018makenine  hosted by  Rochelle New  and glad I finished my first garment that I worked since January. For the pattern, I decided to chose free pattern -  Estuary  v-neck cardigan size 36 that I found in Ravelry. The cardigan has a simple stockinette stitch for the bodice and sleeve, 2x2 rib for the sleeve and hem bands and 1x1 rib for front/neckline band. I skip the colour block style and use one colour only because I have enough amount of yarns in my stash and as promised I wouldn't buy new yarns this year except when I am on travel 😁

Hello fellow sewists, I made a cardigan and t-shirt for my entry in Instagram sewing challenge  #cosycardichallenge , both garments are based on Simplicity pattern 8059 size xs for the cardigan and xxs for the t-shirt. I was planning to make the cardigan only but decided to make the t-shirt after I finished because I don't have a matching t-shirt to wear with it. Luckily that the pattern came in five different models and one of them is a asymmetrical tunic that was easy to modify to a simple v-neck tee.
