Long-sleeved scoop new sweater with brown and beige floral pattern on the body and colorful stripes on the sleeves and lower border

A dear friend gave me this gorgeous used sweater. I loved it but the neckline was too low for my comfort and the sleeves and underarms were super tight. I still can't believe I had the guts to do it, but here’s an accounting of my adventure altering it - 🧵1/6 #sewsky #memade #garmetsewing

First time ever attaching a collar - to my first ever jacket toile. The pattern has no instructions. Made lots of mistakes and learnt a lot. Fitting issues so will adjust the pattern and try again. It’s discouraging but l’m determine to get there eventually. #garmetsewing

If you love whimsical and timeless patterns with inclusive sizing and excellent guides, be sure to check this out! I am a big fan of T&T and have sewn a number of their patterns. Right now I'm making a summer hat and shorts for my son.
