I've gone my whole life thinking that yellow was a color that I couldn't wear. If you look through my decade of sewing blog history, you won't see me wearing yellow. For some reason, now, I decided, I don't care anymore- I love yellow and I'm going to wear it! This cardigan and top were made using Simplicity 8141 for the cardigan and Vogue 1049 for the tank. The cover doesn't show the shorter version of the cardigan, but that is the view that I made- View D. The front is one piece that starts out with one shoulder on the bottom of the piece and one shoulder on the top, you narrow hem both sides, and then flip the shoulder seam up, creating this beautiful drape. I used a very sheer rayon knit from Fabric Mart. The tank is two layers of the fabric, and the cardigan one layer. This project was a fabric hog- I had 3-1/2 yards of fabric, and used it all for these two pieces. For some reason, I don't think that 8141 was ever done...
