How To Add A Cowl Neck How To Make a Sweater
~Emily Thompson, Brother Sews Ambassador
I love taking regular shirts and crafting them into sweaters. I take a sewing pattern, some sweater knit fabric, and make gorgeous DIY sweaters. My husband recently asked if I was wearing a new sweater and when I said yes, he asked where I bought it. He was shocked when I said I made it! Sewing sweaters is fun and easier than you may think. This is a simple sweater tutorial today and it’s made with free sewing patterns.
This post will show you how to sew the cowl part of the sweater and you can add it to your favorite shirt pattern that you already own. I’ll give you the details of the pattern I used, but you really can create this look with a pattern you already own.
