Description
In this version of Sarah’s Custom Fit Sweater Design series, you’ll learn, as always, how to make a beautiful sweater to fit beautiful YOU. AND as always, you’ll take away skills and worksheets and the confidence to help you on your journey to a perfect fit.
This class was originally intended for knitters, but an adventurous crocheter would be more than welcome!
Our inspiration garment is a long-time favorite from Sarah’s closet: a simple shell with timeless style from Eddie Bauer. The sleeveless top features a simple outline, a gently curved neck, shoulder shaping, and good coverage (nobody gets to see my bra unless they’re buying me dinner).
