So this is the first pattern I decided to try M6844. I saw a blog post by my fav diy blogger, mimig who made this pattern so I figured I'd give it a shot. You can find her blog post and mini tut HERE. It looked pretty simple and I had already made myself another simple little cardigan so I was confident I could handle this.
And it was pretty easy. However I was not thrilled with my results. I cut the Medium w/ the petite adjustments. And based on the sizing chart I was actually afraid it might be too small because my waist and hip measurents were outside of the size range. But when I finished the shoulder seams were low on my arms, it was big in the armpit, bust and waist area and just did not fit nicely at all. I ended up taking it in at the shoulder and that helped. I think my fabric was just a little too stretchy though. Here is a pic before I took the shoulders up
Overall though it was a good experience. I would definitely try this pattern again, only next time I will cut a smaller size using a slightly stiffer fabric with a little less stretch.
