The "Sweater Weather Pullover" by My Handmade Wardrobe

This is the November pattern for The Weekend Sewing Club by My Handmade Wardrobe. I've made two very different versions for myself in size Large. Here's the first.


The main sweatshirt is sewn from a thick fleece backed sweatshirting. It didn't have enough stretch for the bands and the burgundy ribbing I had clashed terribly, so I went through my knit fabrics looking for something stretchy enough and co-ordinating. I ended up with this lovely leaf print.

This one is sewn as per the pattern with some minor exceptions. I scooped the front neckline slightly and raised the back neck and I added a pocket, 6 inches wide by 8 inches tall (approx 15cm x 20cm) with approx 1.5" (4cm) hem at the top. I also made the cuffs slightly shorter.
