Scrap busting sweatshirtI purchased the PDF version of this pattern as it looked like the perfect design to use up the remnants of other sweatshirt projects. It totally exceeded my expectations and I love the end result. So many opportunities for playing with colour blocking etc. The fit was perfect too. No alterations required.Was this helpful?Fabulous PatternI purchased a PDF version of the pattern a few weeks ago and finally make up version B this weekend. What a fabulous pattern! I cut a size small with a C Cup and shortened the bodice by 1" as I'm 5'1" tall (or short!) My measurements are 36" bust, 30" waist and 36" hip. The instructions are excellent and the pattern itself a breeze to cut out and sew. I highly recommend this pattern and see another in my wardrobe soon.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Moore SweatshirtThis is a really neat pattern! I made it from left over fleece and ribbing from another project and it turned out great. I made the XS and the fit was perfect. I did alter the cuff and sleeve to make it smaller for me. I plan to make this pattern again in a lighter weight fabric as a t-shirt.5 of 5 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?In this video, Liesl introduces you to the Noord T-Shirt + Sweatshirt pattern.
