Friday Sews, Marlo Sweater Crop Version

[@jacquihooper158]

I’ve just made the Marlo cropped sweater as well. I made it in a wool double jersey and it’s come out very cosy. Thanks for your tips. I’m going to try the longer sleeve version now.

Beautiful makes 💚💜❤️

Thank you 😊

[@janicereilly514]

That looks lovely, two buttons look fine, but, I would have to have matching!!😂

[@diannessewingroom7]

Hi Janice, thank you. Yes I know it would drive mist people crazy that they didn't match but it doesn't bother me as they match size wise and bothe have the four holes. Have a super weekend.

[@lorrainewhiting1267]

The cardigan looks great. Thanks for the tips. I think the two buttons look better as I did three on mine and prefer yours.

[@diannessewingroom7]

Hi Lorraine, thank you that'll save me trying to source another. What fabric did you use for your sweater?

[@lorrainewhiting1267]

@@diannessewingroom7 hi Dianne just a plain turquoise ponte roma I got from Minerva, I prefer the longer version on me so made a light grey longer in ponte which I am really pleased with. I watch you on Minerva videos you are great.

[@LynneWilliams101]

I just purchased this pattern and it arrived last week. I'm looking forward to trying the shorter length. Thank you so much fir the wonderful tips and inspiration!

[@diannessewingroom7]

Hi, have fun with it and thank you for commenting. ☺️

Diane I have been binging on your very informative creative, well explained videos on KZbin. I found you about a month ago and you’ve really encouraged me to have a go at sewing. I haven’t seen for 50 years- today on my video which is probably something you’ve done months ago - you were talking about the white jacket with the animals. What a stunning jacket. I just love it so good on you and I do love the short version, I will be following all of your wonderful sessions on sewing. You have a lovely speaking voice. Very easy to understand. I’m from Australia. Keep up the creative (Work).

Love the sweater!

[@diannessewingroom7]

Hi Lisa thank you.

[@marlenede-abel1336]

Great tips about saving fabric and love your Burda top. I am a fan of Burda but find their instructions are scarce. Have now subscribed to your channel after watching your sewalongs on the Minerva channel as I have really enjoyed them. Pretty cardigan and I think two buttons are enough.

[@diannessewingroom7]

Hi Marlene, yes Burda instructions are a bit limited in the magazines. I'm glad you like the cardigan I wore it earlier. ☺️

[@rejoicealways1233]

Thank you for you tips on getting the most out of less fabric, the cardigan is absolutely lovely and the hacks you made were hard to see untill pointed out. Enjoy the video Have a good week.Oh just found out I can watch you on the TV. Susan 🌸🌺

[@diannessewingroom7]

Hi Susan, thank you. Yes I think we often think everyone can see these little joins but they are not really noticeable, so worth making the most of small amounts of fabric. Glad you enjoyed it. have a great evening.🙂

[@jaynefederici9140]

Both your cardigans look great. I have bought the pattern and am planning to make the cropped one. A good thing about this pattern is that you can use woven for the main pieces. This is a great video Diane so good you can get it out of a meter. That is how i usually fold my fabric , just enough to get the pieces on. J never look at the cutting out guide. J will be making a size 4 so great 😊

[@diannessewingroom7]

Hi Jayne, thank you I hope you enjoy making your cardigan.🙂

[@julieagar4483]

Hi Dianne, I love both your Marlow cardigans. The woodland print cropped cardigan fits great and only needs 2 buttons.❤️

[@diannessewingroom7]

Hi Julie thank you.

[@eszterd3030]

Really nice sweater! Super that you managed to do it with just 1m of fabric!

[@diannessewingroom7]

Hi Eszter thank you, it often works especially if your fabric is wide🙂

[@gaylekanak9269]

Both of your sweaters are lovely. I really like that woodland print!!! Thank you for the hacks about eeking out the pattern with less fabric. I do this as well. Really necessary to know if you are making things from fabrics you already have. Another great video. thanks

[@diannessewingroom7]

Hi Gayle, glad you like it. Yes it's great to know you can do it with less as you may have a piece to use up. ☺️

[@kirstydoyle9534]

Really like the look of this one. I’m still working up the courage to try the Bertha though 🙈

[@diannessewingroom7]

Hi Kirsty, give it a try it is really easy. Have great weekend.

[@sewmytroublesaway]

[@diannessewingroom7]
