My winter sewing is well and truly underway and being worn, even though it is not yet winter. Needs must. I have sewn a couple of Jalie sweatshirts to keep me snug.
The first one is from a Lillestoff French Terry from Zebra fabrics. The ribbing is a cotton rib from Spotlight. I went to Spotlight a few weeks ago to get some ribbing to finish off a hoodie for my son, and was pleasantly surprised by the selection of cotton ribbings, in both plain and stripes. The pattern is Jalie 3355. I made this first one according to the size chart (Size V).
My second sweatshirt is made using another terry from Zebra fabrics, purchased with matching ribbing. This time I cut 2 sizes smaller (Size S), shortenedd the body by about 5 cm, and made the bottom rib band a bit looser. I wanted to add the kangaroo pocket, but didn't have enough fabric after cutting a hooded vest out for my son from the same fabric.
Happy Sewing xx
