   Don’t you love when something comes straight off the machine and onto your back. The weather is cooling down rapidly in Melbourne and I couldn’t wait to wear this #sacoralcardigan @stylearc to lunch today. Finished it this morning pre lunch. Made in beautiful golden Japanese French Terry. A remnant piece from @drapersfabrics in Fitzroy. This is a really underrated Style Arc Pattern in my opinion. I like the styling and it sews up quickly. Of course it has pockets!. I have made it previously in olive green superfine merino. That one has stretched out a bit so interested to see how it wears in the FT. I reinforced the shoulder seams as suggested and shortened the arms about 3 cm. It is a bit like going out in your dressing gown! The neckline is super snuggly. You can see here https://www.instagram.com/p/CrzxG5vvIID/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.

1. When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
2. Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight, as this will give you the incorrect size.
3. When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
4. You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:

A. Shoulder Breadth

Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.

B. Upper Arm Girth

This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.

C. Bust

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.

D. Waist

This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.

E. Hip

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
