Tiegan Cardigan has launched!

This new cardigan has some really fun options, and comes in a kids and adult version so bring on all the matching sets!  Below is a line drawing of the different style options for the Tiegan Cardigan by  The Simple Life Company . All of these options are available in the girls and women versions.  I made two, both sleeveless options because, Hawaii, but the duster and cardigan length. The sister is about mid calf and the cardigan was about mid thigh on me.  I think I will make the little girls version for Kaylee next, with the ruffle option cause she's fancy lol.  This was a super fun make, really easy to sew and I had this amazing fabric in my stash from  The Fab Clique .
