Vogue 8804 - An Alternative Construction & Looking at Fabrics and Trims.

Hello!
This is the beginning of a series where I am going to show how to make this pattern in the non-couture way. Yes, I will be making it up in the Claire Shaffer method. But first, instead of a second plain mock up, I am going to make up this jacket as a trial run with fabrics, trims, linings, etc. Just to make sure it is right.
The finished product should be a nice, ready to wear out cardigan jacket. So many steps though. A lot of the steps I will demonstrate in this series will carry over to the final Claire Shaffer version, so in that way, it is a chance to polish those skills before the final fabric is cut.
Anyhow, I hope that you find this series interesting!
