| Pattern Review | 4/5/12 6:33 PM | Kwik Sew - 2759 Twin Set
I knew exactly what I wanted to make the minute I found this fabric. It's a cotton (?) sweater knit that is almost identical in type to an Ann Taylor cardigan I bought last year.

About Me
I've sewn since I got married but it's only in the last 10 years that I've seriously got into fitting. Now it's a bit of an addiction.more
