I finally got around to sewing this past weekend. I really wanted to get started right after the new year ... Oh well. I am glad that I busted out my machine and got me some MOJO!!!
I subscribed naturally to the on-line magazine Seamwork, when it first came out. Ummmm... hello... this is their 4th issue. The first one came out in December and I had plans to make so many things.
Better late than never, I'd say.
HAPPY SEWING, xoxoxo Lisa

So without further ado .... I give to you, Oslo
This cardigan is from the first issue. I am so glad I made it finally. It's described as beginner and versatile. Definitely fits the bill for my style and wardrobe.
The fabric is a stretch sweater knit, and it is cozy and pretty. layered with a long sleeve underneath, it's perfect for colder days. In the spring and summer nights, it's perfect with a tank.
I made size small and kept the largest size length. I think for spring it's the perfect length for my needs ... covering my bum!!!
Definitely see another one in a really cozy warm fabric for next winter. I will definitely lengthen the sleeves. I didn't measure this time, and they are a little short for my arms.
I'm a happy girl!
Next on my list to try: The T-shirt from this last issue, and if I am brave ... the camisole from the lingerie issue.
Come join the fun ...
That looks cute and cozy! I have seen a lot of great versions of that pattern. And such a great color! I'm glad I found your blog!
