I picked up 2603 after seeing versions of this cardi all over the place last fall. It even made the rounds in the blog-o-sphere with versions sewn by AllisonC Sewing Gallery, Quixotic Pixels, Assorted Notions, and Couture et Tricot. DKNY featured a similar cardigan in their collection last fall and the style seems to be ready to make a comeback for 2010. My only problem is deciding which color to make.

Finally, I picked up 2501 after seeing the super cute and retro versions by Green Apples and Gertie's New Blog for Better Sewing. I've already got some blue gingham in my hands to start imitating Gertie's "We're Not in Kansas Anymore" blouse asap.
What do you think of my patterns? Do you have any color choice/ fabric suggestions? Any words of wisdom or caution? Let me know in the comments below.
I love the cynthia rowley designs! I have the 2497 but haven't really made much progress on it. :(
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how yours turns out!
Awesome patterns!!! :) I'm still pretty new to sewing clothing, but these are definitely patterns I would pick up and love to try.
ReplyDeleteThe very last one, Simplicity 2501, is so cute! View B!!!! Oh, how cute!! I'm going to add this one to my pattern wishlist. I'd love to try that one. Can't WAIT to see your progress on any of these patterns! How fun! :)
I've fallen victim to those 5 for 5 sales more times than I can count. It really is the best sale, like, 95% off or something.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see how 2406 comes out!!
Chic on the Cheap
Glad I could be inspiration for your Cynthia Rowley 2406. If you need any tips on the cardi wrap, I've made 4. Good luck with your sewing!
