The oversized sweater pairs perfectly with high-waisted trousers and skirts. The high V-neck sits beautifully on the neck, and the concealed slit in the side seam, which is moved back, gives Tamara a modern boxy look.
Length in the center back = 52 – 56 cm
In this tutorial, Tamara was sewn from a brushed sweat fabric.
Required materials:
We recommend a knit fabric with a soft drape.
| Sizes 34-50 | Outer fabric | 1.40 m | 140 cm wide |
Cutting:
Seam allowances are included - 1cm wide or as marked!
Cut out the pattern pieces from your outer fabric. Lay the fabric right side up. Position the selvedges parallel to the center so you can place the front, back, and neck band on the fold. The pattern pieces should all be placed with the lettering facing up. Always align the grain arrow on all pieces in the same direction and parallel to the selvedge of the fabric. Transfer all notches from the pattern by making a 3mm snip with scissors or chalk. Notch the seam allowance along the fold, as this is always the center. Marks define the positions of darts, pockets, and much more. Transfer these either with chalk or pins.
You will need fabric:
- 1x back part in the fracture
- 1x front part in the break
- 1x neck panel in the break
- 2x sleeves opposite
Sewing instructions:
Seam allowances are included - 1cm wide or as marked!
To sew this sweater you will need a sewing machine and an overlock sewing machine, or alternatively the zigzag stitch on your sewing machine to neaten the cut edges.
In addition to the description, the colored lines in the pictures show you where a seam needs to be sewn or something needs to be glued.
When sewing, pay attention to the seam allowance included in the pattern. Seam allowances not specifically marked are 1 cm wide!
