This post has been long in the making…
I got the Julia Cardigan pattern from Mouse House Creations way back in late 2014, I think? Back when the Perfect Pattern Parcel was still around.
I made it up for the first time in December or early January. And I’m still not sure how I like it.
The fabric is only 2 way stretch, so the lower arms are a smidge tight, and they’re drafted small as well. There also wasn’t enough of the fabric to get two bands out, so I made due with one, and I don’t think it works well with mine.
And my swayback game is strong, and this really shows it. I also tacked down the back neckline for security and flexibility’s sake.
But I reach for it weekly, so I guess I must like it?
I’m thinking of cutting another neckband of a black or other complementary color to assist in the movement of the neckline, but I also have been planning a lot of things. Like jeans and corsets and house cleaning. We’ll have to see how much procrastination I do in the next week before my last final ever!
