Did you see this refashion of mine?
I posted it yesterday (another picture of it, without belt) and mentioned my blog as a place where you could find some more information about making this. Without the link... and as far as I can tell, I can't edit my old post here on WR
So here it is. My blog is www.petitmainsauvage.blogspot.com (I know of the error in my French, it should be 'petite') and I'd love it if you paid me a visit there. However, I didn't post a clear-cut how-to for this creation, so I'll add some more information here.
The pattern for the body of this cardigan looks like this:
I used the neck- and shoulderline from a fitted t-shirt pattern (cutting 1 cm wider because this is a bulky fabric) but cut straight down at the armpit, instead of using the waist shaping. The front edges extend about 2 cm past center front on the pattern. I put this together using my serger and then started playing around with the leftover fabric. The collar is made from the jumper's sleeves, sewn together where the ribbed wrist band used to be. To sew it on the cardy, I just pinned it together, right side of the collar to wrong side of the body and serged along the neckline. This way, when you turn the collar right side out, the seam is hidden under it (I figured that this stuff would be way too bulky for facings etc.). On this jumper refashion, I just serged all the outer edges and left them like that.
I hope this explanation is of any help, and you'll be able to find the blog now. Thanks, for letting me know ladies!
