No more sewing!

While there aren't that many things in this particular clothing collection that I'm so keen on making, there is one sweater that I made in two versions and I'll probably make exactly one as a pattern.

Pictures and instructions are clear and easy to understand.

Pros
  • cool item
Cons
  • something different

Pros
  • Price

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
