Jarrah Sweater // Sewing For Women

Happy Hump Day! And Happy Thanksgiving a day early to all my fellow Americans. I had the privilege of previewing Megan Nielsen's newest pattern collection a month or so ago, and I sewed the Dawn Jeans (see post HERE), and the Jarrah Sweater.

I INSTANTLY fell in love with the Jarrah Sweater, the moment I saw it. The pattern cover has this view on it and I am an absolute sucker for a tie front! But the great thing about this pattern is that it includes a whopping four hem options!

It also includes 2 sleeve, and 2 neckline options. The possibilities are endless to the combo of cozy sweaters and sweatshirts you could make with this pattern.

I directly copied the view on the pattern cover, which is a straight View C. The beauty of this pattern however, is that you can mix and match the components of each view, creating more than just the 4 options shown.

I cut and sewed a straight size 8, with no changes made to the pattern at all. I LOVE the cozy oversized fit! I was waffling between sizes on the size chart for a while, but recently started working hard on my figure again, so I'm actually back down to a size 6. But the cozy fit of being one size up is hard to argue with! :)

View C is ever so slightly cropped, so if you're taller, you may want to keep in mind that it works best with high waisted bottoms. During the colder months, I like to wear a tank under my sweaters, and with this one, the tank needs to be tucked into my jeans to stay hidden. Not a problem for me at all, just a detail to keep in mine!

I used a dreamy soft sweater knit from Joann for this sweater. It's a Poly/Rayon/Spandex blend with a brushed wide rib on the right side. It's so soft and cozy, and the drape is really lovely which was perfect for this view of the pattern. I linked it HERE.

I am planning to dig through my stash and sew up more views of the Jarrah Sweater for this winter! I love the simplicity of View A, but I'm also a sucker for a good funnel neck! There's also such a fun hem option on View B; apparently I just really need to make at least 3 or 4 more! 😄

Another feature that I absolutely love about the Jarrah is the drop shoulder. I'm totally into this style at the moment, and I love how comfy it is to wear. Plus it's really easy to sew too!

Have I convinced you yet that this is the perfect comfy, cozy pattern?? I love that in the right fabric it's cozy yet still stylish and feels put together.

Well, I'm off to dig through my stash for more Jarrah Sweater possibilities! I hope you have a great rest of the week, whether it includes a long holiday weekend or not! And happy Black Friday shopping!! 😉
