I used a remnant knit left over from my Butterick dress I sewed last year for my muslin . I only had enough to sew the short sleeves unfortunately .
As with all Style Arc patterns there are no detailed instructions.There is the list of steps involved and one small diagram showing the centre back neck/ shoulder and where the facing attaches. The pattern pieces are quite well marked though.
It is a very simple cardigan to sew however so the lack of detailed instructions does not matter but if you were completely new to sewing it would be a challenge.
I really like the end results - unlike some other drapey cardigans it does not have masses of fabric at the front , the fit is great and it can be styled in several different ways. Also I was very impressed by the service I received from this company - the pattern arrived the week after I ordered it and the costs were quite reasonable.I also really like the small swatch of fabric they include - this really helped with my material selection . I will definitely buy more patterns. ( I also have the Peta Pants patterns and have sewed a muslin - another happy success !)
I hope to get more sewing done in the next month - I have been on a prolonged break from work and go back to the real world in a month. Also I have lost my nocturnal foot warmer for the next 4 weeks - my husband and middle daughter have gone to France while I stay home with the oldest and youngest daughters - sigh .We are expecting some extra special souvenirs - well they better or else ! I don`t know what the or else is yet - hopefully we won`t have to think of something ;)
