Classic cardigan - VERY EASY! Drafting & sewing + a little pep talk for those who are scared to try!

Dear Sewing Friends, in this video I will show you how I drafted this lovely cardigan featuring a drop shoulder, slight shaping around waist, dropped shoulder for comfort, a "nice" sleeve with a cuff and band going down the center front. This cardigan is made from knit/stretch fabric, medium weight with nice drape and stability.

Now.... this is NOT the regular method of drafting a sleeve (in fact, most of my methods are not by the book), BUT for a quick and easy sleeve for a drop shoulder garment - this will do and it gives a good result!
