My latest makes are this cardi McCall’s 6996 View C. This is a knit fabric bought in France, I am concerned it will snag very easily.

Before that I made https://www.sewdirect.com/butterick-b6026/ in a cream cotton seersucker again bought in France. Buttons were ordered from The Textile Garden, I have never bought from them before but was pleased with the selection.

They look great, @Fabric Lover  ! The knit looks like a ponte on my screen, hopefully if it is it shouldn't snag very easily.  I like the darts on the shirt, they look really good.

Thanks all! @Nevis5 it’s not a Ponte but a sort of poly rib knit with a slight glitter thread.

Two smart and useful makes. And that cardi with it's raised neckline will be great for the winter months. I could go for that pattern myself.

Thanks both!  @Vezelay I would definitely recommend the McCall’s 6996, I’ve made both views a number of times, and always get positive comments.
