Sew Smarter: Tips for a Flawless Calla Cardigan

1. Pick the Perfect Fabric
For a soft and cozy feel, use a sweater knit. If you want something with a little more structure, try a wool jersey. If you’re looking for breathability, opt for cotton or Tencel.

2. Master the Stretch Stitch
To ensure durability, use a zigzag stitch or a stretch stitch. If you have an overlock machine (serger), finish your seams for a clean, professional look.

See the article on Zig-Zag Stitches

3. Customize It!
Want to make it unique? Add contrasting cuffs, decorative buttons, or even embroidery along the front edges.
