DIY CARDIGAN USING SIMPLICITY #8742 VIEW C

HI DARLINGS! You know those days when you just can’t muster up mental energy to sew anything complicated? I know I do so when that happens I reach for a no-brainer pattern. This cardigan pattern is perfect for an easy no fuss sewing project and who doesn’t need a cardigan?

I am in a weird place right now and have been feeling like dumping 90% of my fabric stash and from now on just buying fabric for whatever project I currently want to make. I find that the more fabric I have the harder it is to focus on one project. More on the pattern and fabric below.

My dress is not a DIY I got it for like $14 at FOREVER 21, they only have it in BLACK & NAVY HERE but they have it in PLUS SIZES in other colors.

INFO & MODIFICATIONS

This SIMPLICITY 8742 pattern is pretty straightforward.

I cut the XS size and I didn’t make any changes but now that I have made it I would shorten it just a bit, I always forget I am 5’4″ HA! so taking a few inches off would have just looked a bit better proportion wise. I wish I could tell you about this fabric but I have had this in my stash for so many years! It’s an animal print terry knit.
