I’m sure you’re familiar by now with my fondness for Jalie patterns and Sly Fox Fabrics. My latest fabric to try out was a wondrously soft and cozy floral sweater knit. I knew it would pair nicely with Jalie’s Helene Shawl Collar Cardigan – #3677. First the fabric: for real it’s like a warm hug. {…Continue Reading}
