Some notes from assistant pattern designer, Kelly
Try a Trendy Crop Version
Sideline + Tailgate designer Kelly got some great pieces for her whole family – but her daughter wanted an oversized cropped sweatshirt. Kelly knew this pattern would make the perfect on-trend version. She used some quilted fabric she found in her stash.
- Sizing Notes: This model has a 33″ bust and this is an XL with body shortened to 17″.
- Crop it: If you choose to make a cropped version, your best bet is to hold the pattern piece up to the model’s body and decide on the best spot to cut the crop. If you are going for that over-sized look, go up at least 2 sizes from the original size chart’s directions.
- Sew: per the tutorial’s directions.
- Finished Measurements: For this sample, with bottom band, it’s approx 20″ long from shoulder to bottom.
- Other Alterations? You might find that the wearer prefers shortened sleeves. Though many people looking for that oversized look prefer a looser, longer sleeve.
A pattern for the family
No matter what, every member of the family will love having a handmade sweatshirt in their closet. When you can blend sizing for a perfect fit, play with options, customize fabric & colors, and incorporate fun hacks — this sweatshirt goes from just a handy fall essential to a beloved part of their wardrobe.
I am loving the potential of this new pattern!
Excited for it!
