I'm slowly chugging along on my Starting From Scratch plan. The next step is to make/buy a cardigan and simple tee-shirt in one of the neutral colors.
This is an in-progress version of BWOF 9-2005-103. The sleeves are temporarily sewn in to check the fit. I like it so far, but I'm not sure what to make of the bottom gape. The cardi didn't gape as much when I tried it on, but it did gape.
On the model, the cardigan is completely buttoned. But I've seen cardigans flared at the hem and worn with a skinny belt. I've also seen them worn completely open - as if they're too small.
Obviously I don't wear many button-front cardigans! Is there a rule or something?
Also, the front is finished with a facing and the back neckline is finished with a rectangular piece of fabric. I couldn't understand what the hell Burda was trying to say about that part and figured there's got to be another way to do this. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
