Jaime's Toaster Sweater

I've been traveling a lot which is great, but it is hard to sew when you're on the road. I'm happy for a couple months at home and being reunited with my sewing machine. My first project? The Toaster Sweater by Sew House Seven.

Wide Hem of the Toaster Sweater

We just started stocking Sew House Seven patterns and I was particularly excited about this pattern. Toaster Sweater has all the right things going on. Two adorable versions, a modest-yet-sexy high neck, and my favorite--raglan sleeves.

View 1 features a banded bottom hem and sleeves and is one of those magical patterns where the entire garment can be sewn on a serger. This is my favorite way to make a knit shirt. So quick! So tidy! I did break out the cover stitch machine for some topstitching on the raglan seams and neck. This top came together like a dream. 

Collar of the Toaster Sweater

I choose to make a size small and this top is a bit more fitted than I'm used to these days. For this reason, I prefer to pair it with skirts rather than jeans. View B is more oversized with a slightly flared, split hem, so I'm excited to try this version next.

I used one of my favorite fabrics for this - french terry. This Soy French Terry is a soft and cozy knit - perfect for fall and winter garments. This was the perfect quick and cozy sew to get me back into sewing after my travel hiatus - Toaster sweater view B - you're next!
