I recently had the opportunity to pattern test the new Ali Sweatshirt from Sew DIY.
This test was very well-timed, as we were heading into winter in Sydney, as well as going off to even colder climes in New Zealand for a holiday.
I made my test out of a super snuggly organic sweatshirt fleece which was from fabric.com about a million years ago. It felt really good to finally use it for something!
I made the scoop neck version and added some length in the bodice and sleeves, which is a pretty usual adjustment for me (I am six foot tall). I might remove a touch from the sleeves if I made this again, but I do like how snuggly it is with the longer sleeve!
The pattern has a shoulder yoke which offers opportunities to have a contrasting colour or fabric there (you can see a good example of this on the pattern page itself) and can see where it is in the picture below.
I should note at the point that the pattern has changed a little since I tested. One of the common feedback points was that the sleeves had too much volume - I am pretty sure Beth has slimmed them down in the final version.
My version is a halfway house, as I took pictures for the feedback and then also slimmed the sleeves down anyway...
I really like this sweatshirt. It's a good mix of having some volume, but still being flattering - as well as a good mix of a basic wardrobe staple with a few details such as the yoke and neckline to make it not boring. I would recommend it if you are looking for a new sweatshirt pattern!
Ciao for now!
