Sh'e finally here💖 My, oh so long overdue, new sewing pattern.
I wanted to step away from complicated sewing, it probably has something to do with the age I'm at, and step into patterns that are a joy to sew and even more rewarding to wear. So what makes me so excited about this one, a sweatshirt pattern? The pattern drafter in me wanted modern proportions. I wanted cozy and easy, but I most certainly didn't want bulky, boxy and big.
And so in came the Frida slimmer sleeve draft. Still comfortable, with removed excess bulk so it's wearable under a coat. We've all had that Michelin feeling with a bulky knit!! Then came in the slightly curved front hem. Shorter in the front and curving to the back. Once again reducing unnecessary extra bulk that is NEVER flattering.
I hope you love her as much as I do! Did I mention the sizing? Wonderfully inclusive size chart for this one 👚
If you're curious how to choose fabric for your Frida, I wrote a blog about it: How I Choose Fabric for a New Pattern.
Have fun with this pattern! Share your makes with #FPPSewingFrida and be on the look out for a sew-along and YT vid to help with all things sewing knits ✂️
Happy sewing! ~ Joanna
