Selfish Sewing Week Cardigan

Something more for me!


Details
Pattern: Scarf Neck Cardigan by Swoon Patterns
Size: Medium with 2" added length
Fabric: Lightweight olive slub-knit poly/cotton jersey
Mods: Added 2" in length to the body pieces and 1.5" length to the sleeves. Cutting was a bear - the fabric I used was off-grain, nearly 45*, so I had to refold and fiddle to get it all to fit.
Fit: The shoulders fit well. The armscye is a little too deep and the sleeves a bit loose. I took off about 1/2" per sleeve in the underarm seam to make them a little more fitted, and about 1" in each of the side seams.


Sadly, after it was all together and I was hemming, I discovered a hole under one of the woven-in slubs at the back. :/ I'm hoping it doesn't grow - may have to fuse a little interfacing on the back of the fabric to keep it together. The fabric store offered me replacement yardage at the same sale price at least, so I get to go pick out another cardigan!
