Today is going to be a short post because I already posted about this pattern a couple months ago but I couldn't resist sharing this make because it quickly became one of my favorite wardrobe workhorses. I wear a cardigan almost everyday and the Blackwood Cardigan by Helen's Closet fits my cardigan needs perfectly.
As any proper sewist does before a big trip, I’ve been sewing up a storm. I’m leaving for in Japan in just a few days and excited is an understatement. This will be my first trip to Japan (and Asia!) and I’ll be reuniting with two dear friends. My packing list has been in the works for months and one of the most important components is the travel outfit. The flight is loooooong and comfort is important to me so everything I wear has got to have some stretch in it. But, I also don’t want to wear a sweatsuit so the knit dress is my travel garment of choice.
It’s the first month of Sew My Style and I’m happy to be sharing my version of the Toaster Sweater with you today. Sew My Style is a really fun, year-long sewing project hosted by Bluebird Fabrics, with one pattern featured every month. Official registration is closed but you can still join along and sew up your own wardrobe. Get all the details here and the sewing schedule here. I didn’t want to overextend myself, so I’ll just be joining in here and there. I actually wasn’t even planning to do January but I was inspired by Sara’s lightweight, gray Toaster and seeing as I already had a similar fabric in my stash, I just had to make my own.
