Aimee<\/a>\u00a0from the Advisors Circle<\/a> sewed up a fun version of the new Noord T-Shirt and Sweatshirt<\/a>\u00a0and she’s here today to tell you about it.<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m always up for a great sweatshirt, and when the Noord Sweatshirt pattern came across my screen I knew I wanted to try it out. I\u2019ve become really enamored with shirts that have a horizontal yoke across the front. The addition of the other side pieces really give this pattern a distinct look. This is definitely a pattern that you could make 10+ times and your garments would never look the same.<\/p>\n

\"Aimee's<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Last year I purchased a grab-box of knit fabrics online for another project and I absolutely lucked out ending up with more in the way of knit yardage than knit scraps. I\u2019ve used up most of my extended yardage and what I\u2019ve had left were a few smaller bits. I knew that the Noord would lend itself nicely as a way for me to use up some of these pieces.<\/p>\n

The largest piece I had left was this lovely organic knit with the jackalopes on it and then a fairly large piece of this red that coordinated perfectly. I wasn\u2019t sure which to use on the yoke. Eventually, the yardage dictated my direction, as I had more of the print than the solid.<\/p>\n

I have the option of a serger when sewing knits, but the way this pattern goes together it could easily be done with just a straight stitch on a sewing machine. While the pattern seems really complicated, it is a super one even if you are new to knits.<\/p>\n

\"Aimee's<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m always impressed with Liesl + Co. patterns and the finishing details on the inside. The facing on the bottom edge gives this sweatshirt such a lovely finish on the inside and out.<\/p>\n

The fit of this sweatshirt was nothing short of perfect. I am 5\u20196\u201d and more on the petite side. I sewed a size medium with the A\/B cup. On every other sweatshirt pattern I have made (well, let\u2019s be honest, almost any shirt pattern), I end up having to cut off the sleeves due to short arms, but this pattern was perfect! I was so pleasantly surprised when after stitching up the sleeves (and before putting on the cuffs) I tried it on and realized that the cuffs weren\u2019t going to be all the way down to my fingertips!<\/p>\n

This pattern is a happily quick sew. Even with all the different pieces, it comes together easily and the directions, as always, are well written. I never fail to come away from sewing a Liesl + Co. or Oliver + S pattern without learning some new technique or a better way of finishing a garment.<\/p>\n

\"Aimee's<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

My only caveat with this pattern is the amount of seams in the sleeves. I\u2019m a bit sensitive to the feeling of the seam lines on the inside of my garments and after sewing this one I realized there were four seam lines inside the arm. I\u2019m not well-practiced when it comes to French seams, but wonder whether they might help.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, I highly recommend this pattern. It\u2019s a super knit scrap-buster and, as I mentioned in the beginning, the design options are endless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
