This year I’m wrapped in the cardi-wrap that many sewers did last year. So here’s my version.
I chose to make view A with a soft cotton/spandex burgundy piece that I’ve had for over two years. The original fabric that was supposed to be used was a marle grey but I felt that I needed a wrap with colour. I’ve not adjusted the pattern and I’ve used M size. Next time I’ll use S size. Normally on the shoulder seam I would use ‘seams great’ for stability but I couldn’t figure out where this would be. The centre back neck gathers are sewn with swimwear elastic so the gathers are even. So I’ve figured out a couple of ways to wear it and I know there are more…
The top is view E from the same pattern. I’ve done small pleats on the front neckline instead of the gathers. There wasn’t enough fabric to make the gathers a feature on this striped knit.
The jean were store bought. I’ve yet to attempt making jeans.

All of these pieces look so wonderful on you! The burgundy color really suits you. The green dress is so polished.
