Description
This is a PDF sewing pattern and tutorial to teach you how to create these garments. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING IN THE MAIL.
The Spirit Sweatshirt pattern is a comfortable, classic pullover designed with a relaxed, traditional fit that’s easy to wear and easy to style. It’s a cozy wardrobe staple you’ll reach for again and again.
This pattern includes multiple options so you can customize your sweatshirt to fit your personal style. Choose from three lengths: a trendy crop, a modern high hip, or a classic hip length. Finish it with either a snug, traditional waistband or a looser waistband for a more relaxed look. Add the optional kanga pocket for that classic hoodie feel, or keep it simple and streamlined.
For the neckline, you can sew a standard neckband, a hood, or a hood with a neckband for an unique detail. The pattern also includes both plain and colorblocked body and sleeve options, making it perfect for mixing fabrics, team spirit, or creating bold, graphic looks.
Whether you prefer a cropped silhouette or a more traditional length, the Spirit Sweatshirt is designed to become a reliable favorite in your handmade wardrobe.

- Lengths: Crop / High Hip / Hip
