Introducing a versatile women's sewing pattern for a relaxed-fit tunic-length hooded sweatshirt, featuring stylish color blocking and practical patch pockets.
This comfortable and chic sweatshirt is perfect for various casual and relaxed settings, making it an excellent choice for:
Silhouette: Relaxed, tunic-length fit with a modern curved high-low hem, longer at the back.
Neckline & Hood: Comfortable attached hood leading into a partial button placket at the front neckline.
Closure: Three-button partial placket providing an adjustable neckline opening.
Sleeves: Long raglan sleeves with integrated color blocking and cuffed wrists for a neat finish.
Pockets: Two large, contrasting patch pockets thoughtfully placed on the front for convenience and style.
Design Details: Distinctive color-blocked panels on the front body and sleeves create visual interest and a contemporary aesthetic.
Intermediate. Requires familiarity with working with knits, constructing plackets, setting in hoods, and attaching patch pockets.
Choose knit fabrics with a moderate stretch that offer both comfort and structure:
If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, seam allowances are not included. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm; top pocket allowance – 2 cm; hem allowance – 1.5 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90cm to 150cm) to determine how much material you will need (don't forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!
Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim allowances to 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlock machine.
