    Another winner from Love Notions! This pattern was an easy, fun sew. I made the mock turtleneck and plan to make a cowl neck next. While not form fitting, it has a slightly slimmer fit than many Love Notions patterns and that is great for layering. My Mom and Aunt already want one.

    Great pattern! Cut and sew in an afternoon. Great fit, simply yet sophisticated. The only adjustment made was in length, I added two inches to accommodate my height (5’8″). I can’t wait to make more!

    I really enjoy LN patterns!! But this one is my favorite! Not too loose, not too snug. All the neck options makes it great for weather transitions. I am a confident beginner and made three in few hours.

    The Arlington Sweater is my favorite pattern right now! I love all the neckline and sleeve options, but I think the cowl with the bishop sleeve is my favorite. The cowl is fantastic, the way it is shaped there is no bulk at the back of the neck. It is such a comfortable top to wear!

    As a beginner I truly thought I wouldn’t be able to sew this beautiful pattern up for the fall but was so surprised how amazingly easy and also clear the pattern was to sew!! I so appreciate Love Notions for their easy to read instructions. Also, this pattern is amazing for all the seasons!! I need an Arlington for all the things!! So many options too, with puff sleeves, short, elbow, or long, it really is the perfect pattern if you want a basic shirt with sweet feminine details to add some flair. Love love LOVE this pattern!!!

    I really love all the options available with the Arlington Sweater, combine that with different fabric types and the possibilities are almost endless. Pattern is easy to follow. I am between to sizes for my bust area but I was able to do an easy fit adjustment.

    This pattern is so much fun. It goes together quickly with very professional results. I made two right away and can’t wait to wear them. I did a sweater knit turtle neck with Bishop sleeves and a dress turtleneck with puff sleeves out of Bamboo French Terry of a lighter dress weight. I think this will the perfect top to make for under Hoodies too.

    I was really looking forward to purchasing and making this pattern with all the wonderful possibilities included. I made one with the cowl neck and really like how it fits. I have several more planned with different fabrics and styles. Another winner from Love Notions,

    Absolutely love this sweater pattern!! Easy to construct (as usual) and the bishop is just lovely!

    This pattern is amazing. So many options in one pattern. Directions are very clear and fit is perfect! One of my all time favorite love notions patterns.

    I’ve made two of Arlingtons for my daughter for work. They were quick and perfect for a dressy business look with Sybil skirt and duet pants. Both in rib knit with mock turtleneck and elbow sleeves. Can’t wait to make some for me too!

    While I have a large collection of LN patterns–the Arlington is the first one I have actually sewed up. According to my measurements I made the 3x with FBA. The fit is absolutely perfect–not too tight and not too loose!! Cowl neckline, bishop sleeves and banded bottom in double brushed poly is such a comfy combination. Let the sewing up of my LN collection begin!!!

    The Arlington is one of my favorite Love Notions patterns. It is a quick and easy sew and has a variety of style options to customize your look. The fit is great and I can wear this top to work which means I will get a lot of use out of it. I can’t wait to try the dress option 🙂

  14. Jenelle Butler (verified owner)

    The Arlington is the first pattern I have made out of my collection of Love Notions Patterns. The fit is great straight off the printer with no adjustments, usually I have to do a full bicep adjustment and add length to sleeves and body on every pattern I make. This is my favorite style of top and since it fits perfect, I can modify the pattern to get various styles that will still fit great.

    This is a great pattern and a easy sew. I made the dress version with the bishop sleeves and mock turtle neck, Fits well – no adjustments! I am 5’9 and the dress hits right at my knees.

    I cannot say enough great things about this pattern. It has SO MANY options! I have been working on a business casual wardrobe for work and this is basically the only top pattern I have needed. By varying the fabric and the options on this top I have made at least a dozen versions and no one would know it’s essentially the same top. Clear directions and a quick sew. Love it so much.

      So happy to hear this!

  17. jeri59834 (verified owner)

    What’s not to love about this pattern?! So so many wonderful options, easy to sew and really enjoyed the quick sew. Planning on making a second without the cowl neck. Thanks Tessa for the great pattern!

  18. Mary Hyatt (verified owner)

    Great pattern, have made 2 so far. One with the cowl. I love that cowl shape. It can be worn so it goes out my shoulders. The cuffed bishop sleeves are great.
    The second one was made with straight long sleeves and the mock neck. The mock neck is a perfect fit, not too tight, and not too tall.
    Both were easy and quick sews

    Love this pattern! Easy to put it together, the directions were easy to follow, and it looks fantastic! It is my first Love Notions pattern, and next up is the Rhapsody!
