Sweater Set

Remember the drape front cardigan? It's now a sweater set as I sewed a little knit top out of the same sweater knit to go under it. This came out quite well, and I really utilised the fabric carefully, having only teeny weeny scraps left over.
Tip if you want to make a sweater set, cut both garments out at the same time to make sure they fit onto the fabric. I interlocked the pattern tissue pieces and also realised I needed to shorten the top slightly so it didn't show longer than the cardi.

Pretty! I'm sure those pieces will get lots of wear.

Another winner, or two...

Lovely set. I too prefer for my outlayer to be longer than the underlayer

How lucky ! I bought some beautiful sweater knit for a cardy and was so pleased when I had enough for a little knit top which I wasnt expecting - I know buy a little extra so I can make a twinset.
