Jenna cardi

Hello, friends! I’m still sharing my summer sewing…. Yes, I am stretching this out so far! I still have another dress left to photograph, plus 3 that are kind of UFO’s. I may no…

Also left unblogged in 2015 were a couple iterations of the Muse Patterns Jenna Cardi. The first one, completed in early December was from a hatchi sweater knit purchased from Fabric.com awhile back. This print makes me so happy. My only regret: I wish I had used some sparkly buttons. There is gold threading through the fabric, and some crystaline buttons would bring that element out a little more and look so fun! If I run across the right buttons, I may still change 'em up. I made Variation…

As promised, I am back with the review of my Jenna cardi by Muse Patterns that I previewed last week! Jenna was one of Muse’s first patterns and it’s been sitting in my stash for aaaages just waiting for some love. It’s really shameful that it took me this long to get around to it since I wear cardigans all the time, and my RTW ones are starting to look a little shabby. This was actually a Pinspired cardigan, inspired by this cardi: Mine is a little more cream-colored than this one, but…

Nun wird es wieder wärmer und ich sollte so langsam in die Frühjahrs-Sommer-Kollektions-Produktion einsteigen. Oberteile sind ja bekanntlich bei fast allen Mangelware. Der Schnitt des Jenna-Cardi lag noch von der ersten Verwendung in greifbarer Nähe und so versuchte ich, daraus ein Kurzarmoberteil zu bauen. Diesmal kürzte ich an den Schultern einiges weg, auch an den Seiten unter den Armen. Der sehr dünne Viskosejersey schlabbert ohnehin sehr, deshalb auch noch alles eine Nr. kleiner als bei…

I'm really happy with how this version of my Jenna Cardigan has turned out. In truth, the "original" round neck version is impractical (unless you choose to wear it closed all the time). Otherwise the round neck falls open un-chicly at the collar, when unbuttoned. I much prefer an open V: Jenna Cardigan - Modified V Neck Version The buttons start underneath my full bust and the V lies very nicely (at the perfect length). I also really like how I placed the cable (horizontally) around the…

Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you are all having a nice zen prelude to the holidays. Meanwhile, I'm in my usual last minute chaotic state before we pack up and take off to see my folks for Christmas. Before I leave, I wanted to let you know that the shop will be closed December 20 - 27th. I was going to have a holiday sale but then decided that I don't want to worry about anything while I'm on vacation so...I'm letting you know that I will be having a 3-day Holiday sale after Christmas…

Hi Friends, PatternReview.com is having a Sweater Knit Contest, which closes today. You can check out all the entries here. I ordered a couple of sweater knits a few weeks back and this contest was…

Today I'm going to give the low-down on my second version of the Jenna cardi pattern, which also happens to be second garment I made fr...

Yes, that’s right folks. And that is a sentence I still squeak to myself in a mixture of delight and disbelief. I SEWED a cardigan. Being unable to knit, there are certain limits to what one …

Seit einiger Zeit läuft dieser Cardigan mir immer wieder auf den Blogs über den Weg und löste ein "Haben-Wollen-jetzt-gleich-unbedingt-Gefühl aus". Ihr kennt das ;) Bei Buttinette war schnell ein Sweetstoff bestellt und für das Probemodell dieser sehr dünne Strickstoff. Als er geliefert wurde, war ich über seine doch sehr dünne Qualität erstmal enttäuscht- vernähte ihn aber doch wie geplant. Das Herausfinden der für mich passenden Größe ist bei "nichtdeutschen" Schnitten für mich immer ein…

When I went back to school in September, one of my main goals was to make time for sewing, knitting, and blogging, especially since I now have not only one sewing machine, but two! Three months later, I'm at that point in the semester when all my labs are finishing up, I've been done with midterms for a week now, and I'm realizing that I definitely haven't been keeping up with that goal! In fact, my sewing machines are still sitting on my living room floor because I don't yet have a desk for…

Hey, remember how I've been wishing for a merino fairy-godmother ? Well, bibbidi bobbidi boo because Kat from Muse Patterns is having a sup...

Voici la première réalisation d'automne, le gilet Jenna Cardi de Muse Patterns. Ça fait un moment que je souhaitais le réaliser mais sans avoir vraiment d'idée de couleur. C'est en réfléchissant avec quoi je pourrais le porter qu'elle s'est imposée : du rouge/bordeaux pour se marier avec ma robe Chloé et ma Plantain Corolle. ★ ★ ★ Avec la robe Chloé. J'ai choisi la version avec empiècement d'épaules, manches longues et longueur aux hanches pour un vrai gilet d'automne. Concernant le tissu…

Even by my standards I have been making heavy work of sewing in the last month. With a couple of short breaks, an “intense” time at work and the school summer break, I’ve only jus…
