Fall Sewing # 5 McCall's 6844 Cardigan in Pink Black Pearls Chain & Leopard Print ITY Knit

Another McCall's 6844 cardigan!  I love the print of this fabric.  I can see wearing this cardigan with a black dress, my raspberry matte ITY knit drape neck dress, a camel colored dress,  a white dress, I can go on and on and on!


Pink Pearls Chain Leopard Print ITY Knit Fabric

I made view C with the peplum style bottom.  I serged all the seams, added clear elastic to the shoulder seams, Steam-A-Seam 2 to the bottom hem and the sleeve hem & used a walking foot on my machine.  I could have finished the cardigan in about 2 hours if life didn't get in the way!

I liked this version so much I had to wear it to Church.  I wore it with a black tank and skirt and a leopard beaded necklace.  It's so comfortable and easy to dress up or down.  A great addition!

You can't go wrong with this pattern.  It's so easy to sew up.
 
Not too bad for a cardigan for $7.00!

      Thank you for the kind comment. I'm afraid everyone will get tired of seeing me sew this cardigan. But I love it!

      Thank you! Fall here in Florida last for a week or so, but that doesn't mean I can't sew for it! LOL! Winter sewing scares me the most. Because it's cold then hot, you have to layer your clothing. I just owned something in wool two years ago! (I've worn it twice!). No thank you, give me fall sewing!

    You look beautiful Bonnie! You've nailed sewing ITY garments - they turn out so well. I look forward to each of your blog posts. I've recently had two waders but I'll never improve if I don't try and try again. I wish we had some good garment sewing classes in my area.

      Thank you for your kind comments. Me pictures are the hardest for me to add. I just pick the best of the worse and go with it! I wish we had sewing classes in my area too. We have one that meets one day a month in a smokey, VFW hall. No way am I bringing my stuff into that. My best taught lessons are from Peggy Sagers at Silhouette Patters, with the Fit 2 Stitch series and also a little bit from Nancy Zieman. I do a lot of Youtube videos from both of them, it helps. Two waders? You're ready for something terrific now that you got them out of your system! Stay positive & keep sewing! I would love to see something you sew!

    I love non-traditional cardigans and your version is lovely. That's the beauty of sewing -- one pattern but so many variations.
