Bertha cardigan from Make It Simple

Reviewed by sewminigems on 28th February, 2020

The Bertha cardigan is the first garment I have made from the Make It Simple book.  I love Tilly and the Buttons patterns, they are so clear and well explained, and this one is no different.  This was a dream to make, such a simple garment.  The only thing that had me head scratching at all was making sure that the pattern pieces were all correct as they are rather funny shaped so it’s a little counter-intuitive. – a sleeve does not look like a normal sleeve, a bodice does not look like a normal bodice!  But as long as you are careful with that, it is basically the same method as the Blackwood cardigan, but with batwing sleeves.

Please check out my blog for more details on the make: https://sewminigems.wordpress.com/2020/02/22/bertha-cardigan-from-make-it-simple/
