This soft and cozy fleece pullover was made and sewn by me. It is one of my favorite sewing projects because it is very wearable and goes with everything. I made it during independent sewing classes; everyone was making their own projects and this is what I chose. I was inspired to make this project because of cold weather. I wanted a soft, comfortable item to wear.

Step 1: Measurement and Pattern

First, I chose my fabric. There wasn't enough of the gray fleece that I liked, so I decided to make it two-tone and now I'm really glad I did because I think that makes it unique. I cut out the pattern and then I measured and cut out my fabric. The studio where I made this has a large table where I can lay out all of the fabric.

Step 2: Preparation

It's important to gather your materials before beginning. When you are sewing you have to pick out your thread and make a bobbin of the same color.

Step 3: Sew

I love to sew and I learned a lot with this project. I had never set in long sleeves before. When you sew, make sure that you are following the pattern correctly and don't miss any pieces.

Step 4: Halfway There!

I took a photo without sleeves and collar to document my project. At this point, I wasn't sure if it would turn out with a finished, polished look - but it did!

Step 5: Finished!

The satin ribbon used to tie the collar really gives it a nice finish. I encourage everyone to sew because it is relaxing and enjoyable. Not to mention, this kind of art is wearable and can generate a lot of compliments. :)
