Draped cardigan McCall M7055



So, I saw this pattern and immediately fell in love with it. I bought it last year and have just been waiting to find the right material. I finally found a dark teal knit that I decided would be great.

Today, as I waited LDS General Conference and later football, I started sewing it. I was really excited to get it done since we are finally getting some cooler weather. It came together very quickly and easily. The most time consuming part was just pressing and pinning the hem line.



After completing I tried it on. Something just didn't seem right. So I had my daughter try it on just in case it was just me. She felt the same way. I think the shoulder placement and the overall body drape is awkward. This is not a cardigan you can wrap up in. It just doesn't drape properly for that. I am a little disappointed by that.




While I think this is a cute pattern, you may want to try going up a size or two if you are looking for a wrappable cardigan. I will still enjoy it, and the fabric was inexpensive since I took advantage of a sale and coupons. However, overall I can't give a fabulous review as I was hoping to. If you make this cardigan and find a trick to fixing the fit, please let me know. I'd love to have one in a pretty plum. Thanks for stopping by.
