Description

I used the very easy tutorial by BurdaStyle member theclosetseamstress

Adjustments – changed the slope of the V in front and due to this cut a single strip for binding (it appears more curved in the front because of this). Next time, I will measure exactly and cut 3 pieces as the tutorial lists.

I used left over knits that I had – the light grey is almost like sweatpants and the darker grey has a good deal of stretch in it.

Material Notes

Knit fabrics, thread

    I do think it’s cute too! And it would be nice to make as a cropped cardigan/bolero too.
