I'm Vanessa, the Crafty Gemini, and I'll be posting weekly how-to video tutorials right here on YouTube. And in this video series, I'm gonna cover a lot of information including what pattern you'll need for this project, some fabric suggestions and choices, how much fabric you'll need, we'll talk a little bit about sizing.

How to lay out our pattern pieces correctly on our fabric cutting the pieces out and then obviously how to sew it all together. This pattern does have sleeves. But don't worry, I'm gonna show you a really easy way to put sleeves in. Also, how to create the peplum, attach it to the bodice and then the tricky part of hemming a peplum or circle skirt like this. And I'm going to share with you some tips on that.

So, let's get started with the first video. So, the pattern we are working with is McCall's 6844 so, M6844. I'll include a link in the description box below on where you can find this pattern sew you can follow along in this sew along and create this super cute peplum cardigan that we're gonna be making.

This is View A. This one is just like a regular cardigan view Dokay, this is eight minutes could be this is the same one just like a playing card, can accept its longer so it goes down past your hips right and then we have you see which is the one that we're gonna be working on this is you can see the length and it has a peplum short on the front and longer in the back and then view D is the longer version of this sew how which is this one here that's the sizes size why is going to be. Size small, size medium and size large.

Extra-large and double XL now just to give you an idea if you've never made a garment from a commercial pattern before, the sizes are not the same as what you buy like ready to wear in the store to give an example I'm gonna be making medium it says its size twelve to fourteen and in ready to wear like if I went to the department store but some clothes I wear size 8 which is a medium right so's given the size twelve to fourteenthon't worry about the size there all we're looking to do is create garment that fits nicely that way they will be flattering on our body type right.

So here's another chart on the back %uh the pattern envelope and this is really important if you're really working on a garment that's really nice and fitted and you want it to be perfect to your measurements, you are going to have to look at this. You can make sure that you choose the side that the commercial pattern is giving you that's the closest to your actual by size right so we'll see here there the measurement at the bustline for all the views I'm gonna come down and these numbers you see other in columns this still corresponds all the way up hereto what size you doing so if your large this column kinda goes all the way down this wayso I'm in the medium some gonna be looking all the way down here the measured at the bustline for all the views I'm gonna come down and these numbers you see other in columns this still corresponds all the way up hereto what size you doing so if your large this column kinda goes all the way down this way.

So, I'm in the medium size some gonna be looking all the way down here the measured at the bustline for all the views I'm gonna come down and these numbers you see other in columns this still corresponds all the way up hereto what size you doing so if your large this column kinda goes all the way down this wayso I'm in the medium some gonna be looking all the way down here the measured at the bustline for all the views I'm gonna come down and these numbers you see other in columns this still corresponds all the way up hereto what size you doing so if your large this column kinda goes all the way down this wayso I'm in the medium some gonna be looking all the way down here the measured at the bustline for all the views I'm gonna come down and these numbers you see other in columns this still corresponds all the way up hereto what size you doing so if your large this column kinda goes all the way down this wayso I'm in the medium some gonna be looking all the way down here the measured at the bustline for all the views I'm gonna come down and these numbers you see other in columns this still corresponds all the way up hereto what size you doing so if your large this column kinda goes all the way down this wayso I'm in the medium some gonna be looking all the way down here the measured at the bustline for all the views I'm gonna come down and these numbers you see other in columns this still corresponds all the way up hereto what size you doing so if your large this column kinda goes all the way down this wayso I'm in the medium some gonna be looking all the way down here the measured at the bustline for all the views I'm gonna come down and these numbers you see other in columns this still corresponds all the way up hereto what size you doing so if your large this column kinda goes all the way down this wayso
