Sew House Seven Toaster Sweater

It is challenging for me to find a comfortable, well-fitting sweatshirt in ready to wear.

The Toaster Sweater pattern by Sew House Seven fills that void in my winter wardrobe.

The style lines are such that it is comfortable without being overly bulky.

I like that it is semi-fitted, which is hard to find in a ready to wear sweatshirt.

The self fabric ribbing panel at the bottom helps the shirt stay in place,

which is necessary because this top falls just at or below the hip bones.

The funnel neck can be worn up as shown in this photo,

it can be "slouched",

or it can be doubled over itself.

I like having options.

With the extra long cuff on the sleeves,

I can wear them long (over my hand just past my wrist) on those chilly days;

or I can easily push up the sleeves and they stay up.

The pattern features dolman sleeves, which make the sweatshirt extra comfortable.

The forest green hemp French terry fabric from Fancy Tiger Crafts

is a perfect pairing with this pattern.

I'm anxious to sew up another Toaster Sweater in some stretch velour in taupe/cream

that I just ordered from StyleMaker Fabrics.

I stitched the entire sweater on my Baby Lock Serger, no sewing machine required.

(If you don't have cover hem capabilities on your serger,

you will need to use a sewing machine for the topstitching.)
