Sewing Pattern – Ladies Sweat Shirt

The Sew House 7 Toaster Sweater Pattern offers two stylish and versatile variations of the classic sweater silhouette, providing options to suit a range of preferences and style aesthetics.

Version 1 of the sweater features a chic high-neck design, complemented by raglan sleeves and a cropped length. With a wide waistband and cuffs, this iteration exudes a modern and youthful vibe, perfect for pairing with high-waisted bottoms for a trendy ensemble.

On the other hand, Version 2 of the Toaster Sweater boasts a semi-high neck with a faced mini-funnel neck, offering a sophisticated twist on the classic sweater style. This version is fitted through the shoulders and sleeves while featuring a fuller body for added comfort and ease of movement. The hi-low hem with side vents adds visual interest and dimension to the garment, making it a standout piece in any wardrobe.

Crafted from a medium-weight knit with 20% crosswise stretch, the Toaster Sweater is both comfortable and stylish. Version 1 is ideally suited for heavier knits like french terry, providing warmth and structure, while Version 2 shines in lighter knits such as merino wool, offering breathability and drape.

With detailed instructions and notions like lightweight fusible interfacing included, this pattern is suitable for sewists with an advanced beginner skill level, offering an opportunity to enhance their sewing repertoire while creating a wardrobe staple.

Available in two size ranges—Standard 00-20 and Curvy 16-34—the Toaster Sweater Pattern caters to a diverse range of body types, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the comfort and style of this versatile garment.

I am just smitten with this felt gingerbread house bag. This would make such a sweet special Christmas accessory for a kid. It’s a free pattern at Benzie Design, designed by Gracie from Hello Gracie Makes. It’s packed with adorable gingerbread house details, like swirls and stripes and scallops adoring the doors and windows.

And while all those details might seem like this would be a complicated pattern, it’s actually not. The bag itself is made from felt, which makes finishes edges unnecessary. (All of those scalloped edges are just cut from felt, no edge finishing required.) The strap is super simple, made from rope with knotted ends. And all those details are made with some basic hand embroidery stitches. Sparkle felt makes it extra cute.

The striped scallop roof is actually the top flap of the bag. A magnetic snap makes it a secure closure. The rope straps are attached through felt loops at the side of the bag.

They rate this project as an intermediate level, and it should take about 6 hours to make start to finish. That’s doable for a Saturday project or a couple of evenings. Full color photos step you through the entire process.

The project includes a shopping list for all of your supplies. They’ve got a shop so you can order all of them from Benzie if you like and get exactly the supplies used in the project. I noticed it includes a pair of scallop shears, which makes cutting all the scalloped edges for the roof and around the door a breeze.

Finished dimensions of the little felt gingerbread bag are approximately 6 ½” wide x 7 ½” tall. That’s the perfect size to hold a small book, a small toy, or a notepad and some cute pens.
