This sweatshirt is easy enough to sew if you've got a few projects under your belt and understand garment construction. The use of notches wouldn't be amiss to align the body pieces and sleeves instead of relying on seam length. I would also prefer a pattern piece for when you finish the neckline with binding instead of ribbing/a neckband, as it's a technique mentioned in the instructions.
Super cute. The fit is right on. Made in a 3 and it was perfect
ça fait longtemps que j’ai le patron et je me suis enfin décidé de faire le chandail! Très facile et beaucoup de style!
Ver? Very nice:heart:️
I absolutely love the cinch sweater!! It fits just perfectly! It looks so amazing! Pattern directions are so easy to follow!! Thank you for another perfect pattern!!
Sewing pattern praised for being easy to follow with clear instructions, perfect for beginners and experienced sewers. Customers said it's a quick, fun make with beautiful results and a perfect fit that's "true to size." Some noted it would benefit from alignment notches and a binding pattern piece for the neckline. Highly versatile for customization.

I love it
Pas encore eu la chance de le faire mais semble aussi facile à faire que les autres patrons
Love it! Did not add the tie down at the bottom and color blocked it a little since my baby panel was not wide enough! But look at the result! Fits perfectly! Will do this pattern again in many sizes for sure
Great
I made this sweater to match the lowland joggers for my first grandchild ( still in the womb). Had the pattern traced out, cut and sewn in a couple of hours. Easy and fun make with beautiful results. Will be making more of these for sure. Didn't get a picture before I gave it to. MOM. She was very happy with it>
I love this sweater! It was very easy to make and I can't wait to make more!
Lovely pattern which is a breeze to sew up while still having some really interesting details. I just finished my first version in size 3-6m which I hope our daughter will fit in a month or two. As we speak I have the second on the cutting table in the smaller size so she can wear this adorable sweater right away!
I like this sweater pattern, I didn't have any issues and I'm not a super experienced sewer. I think it looks cute on my little one and can't wait to make more.
Nice and easy pattern
This pattern ist way easier than I thought it would be. It looks gorgeous on my daughter and I really have fun, sewing them :u1F970:
Très beau modèle
J'ai fait la grandeur 6-9 mois pour ma fille qui a 7 mois et c'étais beaucoup trop long au poignet. Mais peut-être seulement mon erreur quand j'ai cousu les poignets. Sinon, c'est un très beau modèle, avec pleins de petits détails, le patron est facile à lire et à comprendre et les étapes sont très bien détaillées. Je recommande.
Dit patroon is heel prettig om te maken, zit snel in elkaar en ik hou van het ‘oversized’ model. Hier ga ik zeker meer van maken!
I love this sweater - can you do it in a ladies size for me?! I made 5 the first week I got the pattern- it’s a beautiful fit - my favourite
Hi, This was the first cinch sweater I made. All the pattern pieces come together just perfectly. The only "hack" I applied was changing the holes for the draw string from the inside to the front of the sweater. The size and fit were also just right! Love the pattern!! Wish there was one for women too! :hugging:
It’s a good sew. Mij granddaughter loves her shirt.
Pattern was very easy to follow. Looking forward to sewing it again!
Fijn patroon heerlijke trui
I love this sweater very much and my daughter even more !! She doesn't want to take it off !! I had a great time sewing it, and i'm sure i'll use the pattern again !
Loved the pattern. Easy to follow. I’m a long time sewer but of quilt and women’s I’ve always been scared of knits and this was a perfect first project!
I LOVE how simple, but unique and effective this sweater is! I made it for my toddler and she LOVED it right off the bat. She is probably still in 2T, but I made it in 3T so it will last til next season. I’ll be making many, many more! This pattern is super easy and quick.
Hello! I found your patterns very fine and very easy to understand! It would have been perfect if there had been an opening with buttons on the back or on the shoulder point (especially for the smaller sizes) . Compliment for your work and your beautifull website! Erica
It was very easy to follow the steps to sew it!
Instructions très claires et faciles à suivre, même pour les débutants! :)
Great!
Easy to follow and very well explain. I love the fit.
great
Nice sweater
So easy and I loved how it turned out! True to size.
