Pattern variation
A Simple Wrap Cardigan
To recreate this wrap cardigan you will need a copy of The Unlined Raw-edged Coat and 1.9 m x 145 cm wide fabric.
Take the front and back sewing pattern pieces and draw a line across each piece 62 cm down from the centre of the shoulder. Fold back you pattern piece at this line.
Now lay your pieces out as shown. The fabric is laid as a single layer and the paper pattern pieces need to be mirrored. To do this place your pattern piece down, draw around it with tailor's chalk, then flip the paper pattern over.
To make, follow the instructions from the original sewing pattern. The finished garment can be belted or pinned, whatever suits your style.
I didn't include pockets in this cardigan as I think they are a bit too bulky for the length.
