My mum thinks this fabric looks like a mangey dog and Oliver thinks it looks like snake (which I think is cool for him because he is so into
Ninjago rise of the snakes). Ben was also pretty dismissive of it, but you know what. I think I like this cardigan. Especially from the front.
This cardigan has been really fun to put together. I mean it. The
pattern is great and I love how the pattern has built in pockets. It was also a great one to do in bits. Thursday night: trace pattern. Friday night: cut fabric and sew seams together. Saturday morning add trim and Saturday afternoon: buttons and button holes (all 7!!!). Yep, here is a picture of some of my buttons. Very proud.
I really like the pattern from the front, but there is a lot of bulk at the back which I'm not sure suits me 100%. If I made it again, I might try to shorten it a bit at the back.
My bottom definitely looks big in it....but it is an interesting cardi and one that I think I will wear.
