PATTERN REVIEW: Abbey Wrap Cardigan in Kenya Midweight Linen
Abbey Wrap Cardigan in FS Kenya Midweight Linen
I was looking for clothes that could fit me at 28 weeks of pregnancy and that would remain relevant even after the birth of the baby. I saw the ABBEY Wrap Cardigan pattern on the Fabric-store website and thought that was exactly what I needed!
The pattern is very easy to understand and has only a few details. Along with the pattern, I also received a booklet, with clear sewing steps, a fabric yardage guide, which is handy to know how much fabric you will need to use for your project. This pattern is suitable for beginners, you won’t need anything apart from your fabric and sewing machine!

For sewing I used FS KENYA Midweight Linen, I have loved this rich brick shade for a long time. I would also like to sew a heavyweight linen long sleeve cardigan to wear in the fall.
I chose size 8, although I usually use size 6 for sewing patterns from the Fabric-store and this size was perfect for me.
When my friend was photographing me, a girl came up to us and asked where I bought this dress, so that you will not go unnoticed while walking in ABBEY Wrap Cardigan!
