Pattern Description:
Great jersey cardi to have for all occasions, wear it over your cami or dress, knot it at the front or leave it casually hanging down casually. Optional 2 sleeve lengths.

Pattern Sizing:
Size 6-30. I made size 14. It is true to the size. I did not have to make any alterations.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Definitely! I was so happy with how it turned out.

Were the instructions easy to follow?
This was my first StyleArc pattern and I wasnt used to the way they write the patterns. Since I know enough about garment construction I was able to figure it out, but had to read over the directions a couple times to make the collar. But once I figured it out I was fine!

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I liked everything. Even the fact that I didn't have to make a seam around the bottom of the cardigan or on the sleeves. I serged over them.

Fabric Used:
Polyester/ Lycra Burnout Stripe Knit from Fabric Mart.
http://www.fabricmartfabrics.com/xcart/Burnout-Knit-Graffiti-on-Stripe-Black-White-Petal-Pink-BDC4774.html (it's on sale for $1.99 as of 1/18/13!)

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
None

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes! I would love to make it in all colors!

Conclusion:
I really liked this pattern and would recommend it to everyone.
