- In today’s video, I’m showing the step by step process of sewing a cardigan (mostly) using a serger. This is a really quick project and the perfect garment to add to your Fall wardrobe. For this cardigan, I’m using my Tasi Draft-It-Yourself Robe and Jacket pattern. This draft-it-yourself pattern walks you through each step of designing and drafting your own pattern. This cardigan is a variation of the robe pattern.
In this video, I construct the cardigan with efficiency in mind. I like to stitch as many parts of the garment as I can in one go, then do some pressing and stitch my next round of seams. For this cardigan, we’ll be doing four rounds of stitching. Below, I’ve written up a recap of the steps along with time stamps in the video so you can skip ahead, if desired.

Thanks for the informative sew along ….would have liked to see the finished garment 🙃
Great video, great camera angles , could see clearly what you were doing. Would have loved to see the finished garment though!
Thanks for the video, it's very helpful!
Thankyou Beth. Very helpful , specifically for the pattern, but general tips too. Loved it!
I'm so glad that it was helpful! :)
Thank you for the video! It's very informative. Well done!
Thank you Gailen! :)
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a way to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid lost the account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Isaiah Musa Instablaster ;)
@Ares Spencer Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Ares Spencer It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass !
This was very helpful, just wonder if you used regular serger needle or the ones for knit fabrics. Also do you think serger seams are sturdy enough for heavier knits??
I usually use ballpoint needles in my serger and honestly don't change them out very often. In my experience, I think serger seams are fine on seams that don't get pulled or stretched very much. So, for things like leggings or bodysuits that have to stretch a lot and stay stretched, then I like to use a lightning aka stretch stitch on my conventional machine. It's really hard to unpick that stitch and takes longer to sew than a serger but it's also very secure.
Thank you Beth. I just purchased a thicker sweater knit for a cardigan. What are your thoughts about stay tape for the shoulder seams? I also have button holes to do🥴🥴. I usually experiment with some scrap fabric before I tackle the REAL JOB…I do plan on using the serger too. Thank you. Wish you would have showed your finished product.
Hi! Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I was on vacation last week. There are photos of the finished sweater on my blog here: bit.ly/TasiCardigan
I do think stay tape or clear elastic at the shoulders can be helpful in preventing stretching. However, I've found it tricky to sew. My best advice is to use a glue stick to attach the stay tape to the shoulder seam. Stitch it down using a zig zag stitch. Then, I stitch the shoulder seams using a serger. Trying to do it all in one go just never works for me.
I think you have the right approach on the buttonholes. Practice them and try putting a stabilizer underneath the fabric as you sew. You can even use a piece of tracing paper. Some machines also have a buttonhole stitch intended for knit fabric. You can try that out during your testing. Happy sewing!
@@SewDIY thank you. Hope you enjoyed your vacation
I noticed you didn’t stabilize the band or pocket. How sturdy is the pocket? It seems like if you wanted buttons or a zipper that the band would need some kind of stabilizer.
Hi! If I was going to add buttons then yes, I would add a stabilizer. For knit fabric, you can buy knit interfacing that has stretch in it. In my experience pockets don't need a stabilizer. The bigger the pocket is the more droopy it will be. So, it's a bit of personal preference on whether you'd care if it droops a bit.
Great! But i was so looking forward to seeing the final product modeled....😕
Sorry I didn't do it in the video. It was about 80 degrees in the studio that day. 😅 I do have photos on my blog here: bit.ly/TasiCardigan
