This is an awesome pattern. I love the curve hemline, the fit, and the length.

Light Lime Cardigan!
Yes, it's another cardigan from Simplicity 1961. The fabric is a light lime polyester burnout knit from Fabric Mart. Today, as I was checking out at JoAnn's, I looked back and saw a lady in the checkout line wearing the same color burnout shirt with a matching tank top.
Today, I purchased the Threads magazine for July which included a burnout cardigan with an article by Connie Crawford about "Lightweight Knits."
I've decided to wear this cardigan with a taupe tank and taupe pants. I like the way the taupe had a barely-there look. Although I haven't checked, I'm pretty sure there is a lime tank packed away in one of my drawers.
*There is one thing that I forgot to mention about the top; I decided to enlarge the sleeves because it fit like a sweater or should I say, due to my arm size, it fits a little closer than I perfer.
A ballpoint needle was used. You can use a stretch needle.

Inspiration Maxi Dress/Cardi Jacket
When I saw this Bassa Maxi dress at http://www.igigi.com/plus-size-dresses/ it made me think of a piece of multi-colored chiffon housed in my stash. I only had about 1 1/2 yards.
The chiffon fabric was measured and sewn up the back. After fitting, I had to go back with 1/4 inch elastic and to make it a little more fitted.
This is the cardi wrap jacket from the previous post. It is from the same polyester knit faille fabric.
This is the back view. I love the length of this jacket.
This outfit was created to wear on a date with my husband. He liked it and it was such an easy wearing outfit. In my jewerly box I found a bracelet with fuschia, black and cream.I found a fuschia chunky earring and necklace set for the next time.
The bodice was created from M6322 without the darts. Black polyester faille from Fabric Mart was used for the bodice and the lining. The fabric gave the dress a nice weight.
I didn't want to use a polyester lining fabric because I thought it might become a little sticky in the heat. I would have liked to use the black lawn fabric, but didn't have enough. A headband was made to match.

Knit Cardi-Wrap
Simplicity SewSimple 1961 was made using a micro-pique knit. The pattern comes in sizes XXS-XG and it can be tied in the front. Yes, it's black because it is simply time out (in my area of the country) for a sweater and it can worn with my next maxi dress.
The fabric was a little too thick for the hemming-foot, so I used the open-toe foot. It was an easy job hemming this jacket because the foot keeps the fabric straight and housed between each side of the foot. I really appreciated the nice looking effortless mitered corners.
The back length is perfect in that it gives great coverage and it has a straight edge.
The length is a litter longer than I wanted, but I like the jacket so I cut two more.
