Hello, hello! I hope you are all doing well, staying healthy, and keeping your marbles! I'm so happy to be getting through some of my backlog of sewn pieces. Today, I want to show you another Helen's Closet Blackwood Cardigan--actually, this whole outfit uses the same patterns as in this post but from different fabrics. Why re-invent the wheel?
Like my first version, this Blackwood Cardigan is without pockets as I thought the fabric wouldn't support them. The fabric is a super soft poly/lycra sweater knit from Fabric.com purchased in December 2018 for about $8 per yard.
Mehetabel is wearing the sweater with a now out-of-print New Look 6150 shell in double knit, blogged here, and another pair of Jalie Eleonore jeans (other colors blogged here and here and here and here and here) in sapphire stretch twill from Michael Levine.
Except for omitting the pockets, I didn't make any changes to the pattern. Twill tape was sewn to the shoulders for support, all seams were sewn with a stretch stitch on my Pfaff, the seams were trimmed/finished with the serger, and I used my coverstitch to topstitch the front facing. Very easy, very quick, and I think it looks great on Mehetabel! She could go down a size, but Mehetabel likes it as is.
The Blackwood Cardigan is a great pattern! I foresee making many more of these for both Mehetabel and me.
TTFN!
