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 Youth pattern is the perfect everyday layer for kids and teens who want comfort without sacrificing style. Designed with a relaxed, traditional fit, it’s roomy enough for layering while still keeping a clean, classic silhouette that works for school, play, and everything in between.
Drafted for knit fabrics, this sweatshirt sews up beautifully in sweatshirt fleece. With multiple options included, you can customize it to suit any personality. Choose between a high hip or hip length for the perfect coverage. Finish it with either a snug, traditional waistband or a looser waistband for a more relaxed vibe. Add the optional kanga pocket for that classic hoodie feel or keep it simple for a clean, streamlined look.
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, showing off school colors, or creating fun, bold combinations.
