Oh, the Cuteness! Aster Cardigan Edition
I will be the first to admit that I have a children's pattern buying problem. I have purchased way more patterns than I will ever have time to sew, and so I always hesitate to buy another one. But with a pattern like the Aster Cardigan by Willow & Co, there is no guilt involved-- it is a pattern that is cute AND practical and I know it will be made and worn often.
The pattern is a simple cardigan with 3/4 length sleeves and a Peter Pan collar-- great for the cool weather that lies ahead here in the midwest. The peplum bottom, sleeve button tabs, and heart applique were my own additions. This is an easy pattern to modify or embellish, so there are many possibilities to make it your own style. And I always love patterns that allow me to highlight a little bit of fun printed fabric!

She is a cutie!! I love all the little details and that polka dot peter pan colar is genious!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sara! The polka dots seemed to be a fun print without being "over-the-top", which is usually where I end up! :)
DeleteWOW! Love that little peplum addition. SO many fun ways to alter this pattern. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I can't wait to play around with the pattern again and try another combination!
DeleteHi Hanni! This is Dusti from the grove last week...it was so cool to meet you in person. I love this cardi! Just wanted to give you the link to the Sew KC Meetup group http://www.meetup.com/Sew-KC/
ReplyDeleteI love all the stuff on your blog, very inspiring!
Hi Dusti, thanks for stopping by the blog! It was great meeting you the other day, I'll definitely check out the meet up group and try to make it!
DeleteLoving it!! You got some great smiles! Btw can you make me one in my size?
ReplyDeleteYOU can make one in your size! :) In fact, your sewing machine is still at my house, we can have a playdate/sew date someday...
DeleteJust sewed this pattern myself this week, but certainly didn't have your creativity to add a peplum - love it!
ReplyDeleteNice change-up to the pattern. Very cute. My daughter is 3 also and photoshoots are unpredictable with her too. We go from mug shots to non-stop twirling and sometimes, actual cooperation. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have major Aster envy! I too have a pattern problem so haven't bought it...yet!!
ReplyDeleteOh love this version of the cardi! And what a gorgeous little model :)
