Jalie Cardi Hacking
You may already know but there's a new indie pattern company, Muse, and their first release is the really cute Jenna cardigan . If I had extra money right now (no, didn't get that job) , I'd have bought the pattern. But since I didn't and, darn it I wasn't a tester (hint, hint) , I had to settle for using it as inspiration. So I dug out my TNT Jalie 2566 twinset pattern and proceeded to hack away. The hacking was pretty easy actually. I chopped off about 9" from the length and then added a 3" band at the hem and a 2" band at the sleeves. Both bands are folded, so the cutting width was actually 6-1/2" and 4-1/2", including seam allowances. The Jalie is also a vee neck with a continuous neck/button band vs. the Jenna's jewel neckline and separate neck and button bands. I left mine as is, since I prefer the vee over a jewel neck anyway. I was really second-guessing cutting off all that length since such a short side seam looked almost comic...
