Julia Cardigan - first make of 2016


My first make of 2016 was the Julia Cardigan by Mouse House Creations 
This went together so fast & was a much needed quick project to get my sewing mojo going for the year. I used a sweater knit that I had purchased at Michael Levine . I was a nice lightweight washable knit . The colors-black,cream & silver sparkles don't show up in the picture but make this a casual or dressy topper. I have many more plans for this pattern .

  4. This is a great looking cardigan! I need to put it on my to do list! I noticed it called for knits with a good amount of stretch. Does that mean fleece is not an option?

    1. I'm not sure about fleece. You could cut a bigger size & then size down if needed after you baste it together. The band is the part that needs the most stretch as it sort of draws the top together .- good luck & let me know
