Pattern Description:
Knit cardigan with contrast woven lapel and pockets

Pattern Sizing:
Small

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
My inspiration was a cardigan I saw at Urban Outfitters and yes the final project looks like it!

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Haha, that's the beauty of self drafted pattern, they are SO easy to put together. For some reason, you don't have to think about the sewing order, it just makes sense...

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I would change the notch collar, I find it too wide. Otherwise I looove it it's so comfy!!

Fabric Used:
Silk and wool blend from Mood, ivory woven from stash.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Actually I may and I don't do it often...

Conclusion:
I like it so much, I could wear it 24/7 (that's why I probably need another one). More pictures and details on My Blog, SewingTidbits!
