Meet the Cedar Sweater Pattern Testers

I am so fortunate to have an incredible group of Cedar Sweater pattern testers. Their feedback truly made the Cedar Sweater pattern, fit, and instructions better, and I couldn’t have done it without them. Please check out all these beautiful makers wearing their new Cedar Sweaters! Some of their thoughts on making the Cedar Sweater are sprinkled in too. Meet some new sewists in our community as each photo caption is linked to their page. The Cedar can be styled in so many great ways, as you are about to witness. Are you ready for some serious Cedar Sweater style inspo?

I’d never sewn with knit before, and this was a perfect project to start with!

It went together so quickly, and there’s no hemming.

Loved the quick, simple sew. It’s always a win to sew a new pattern completely on the serger.

Fast and satisfying sew. Cutting out to wearing in 90 minutes (and I’m slow).

It seems like a pattern which would be very hackable to customize it for any body.

I loved going through my scraps and finding pieces that would look good together (scrap busting, color blocking), loved the elbow patch, and that I could whip one up in an hour!
