This is The Assembly Line's T:202, High Cuff Sweater. This pattern may make it back on the cutting table sometime soon as this is one comfortable top and it's a well drafted pattern that was a pleasure to sew.
The plaid fabric is a 100% cotton and the ribbing is a cotton knit leftover from this project. Both fabrics were pre-treated with a tumble through the washing machine and dryer cycles before hitting the worktable. The plaid fabric was a remnant piece measuring 1.1 metres and if it weren't for shortening the sleeve length, I wouldn't have enough fabric. I did take Anna's suggestion of adding 3/4" to the length to the neckline band and I'm glad that I did. The shoulder and armhole seams were sewing with a 5/8" seam allowance. The side seams and bands were sewn with the recommended one centimeter seam allowance.
The waistband has a lovely curve that gives this top a nice fit in the back. The only change I might do on another version is to just shorten the sleeve length a wee bit more.
Sewing IS Political
This is the latest Canadian 🍁 made and tariff free project to emerge from the sewing machine during the convicted felon's economic war on the world. All of the supplies and fabric were found in the stash. The pattern is from The Assembly Line, a Swedish pattern company. The fabrics were found many moons ago at Marshall Fabrics, a western Canadian fabric outlet. The black Gütermann threads were pulled from the stash and were picked up from Fabricland, another Canadian fabric outlet.
