Long Sleeved Draped Cardi!!!!! :)

Few days ago, I made this long sleeved draped cardi.. :) Been wanting to own one, it was like everywhere last year... then this year I can't really find it everywhere anymore...although I located some shops that still sell this type of cardi, it's more fun making your own... :) So I've been searching the Net for patterns, no luck finding any, until last week, I found this pregnant lady who made one for herself, and there's like no pattern involved...it's really simple pieces, and fun to make!!! :) It didn't turn out exactly how I wanted it to be, and I shouldn't have made the armholes too far apart, but despite that, it's still wearable, and I'm proud of myself!!!!! :)


I went to Kamdar to find Jersey cloth, and they only had this type of jersey, and the other type which is something like swimsuits...this one is more appropriate, but it's still not the right type of jersey....sigh...cloth shops over here are PATHETIC!!!!!!!! :(((( I wish we had cloth shops like in Aussie...and even like America... :)

Anyway, I had to make do with this greyish-blue jersey... :) Here are some pics of the cardi...

yea i did louisaaa!!!!!!! :) Awwwhhh thanks so much, but it was kinda of a disaster, it didn't fi that well, although i made it look like as though it fitted well... :D Oh yea, I know, I've always wanted one, and decided to make one myself since it's so much cheaper... I can make like 4 of these, with the same ammount of money buying one... :D But of course mine isn't that nice... I'd prefer a black one too!!!! :) <3<3
