Hi. I’ve just discovered your channel and enjoyed this tutorial. I’ve never heard that tip of changing the differential on the overlocker. I’m definitely going to try that. 😊

Thank you so much for the free pattern...in my size and with easy clear instructions! It looks easy enough for me to do so am really excited. I don't have any stretch fabric so would like to/need to use non-stretch fabric in my stash....have you tried non-stretch? I'm a beginner sewist so not sure if I need to go up a size- hoping you have tried this. thanks for your help with this :) Another question: Is there finished measurements for each size? As I've found patterns can have different sizings so finished measurements (I was told) are the best way to go. Likely I am a size 20 Canadian thanks

No problem at all! I will have some more free patterns soon too :) Yes this pattern does have finished garment measurements, however please be aware these will be much bigger than the body as the garment needs ease in order to be oversized. I have a bit of info on this in the pattern. I haven't tried non stretch but the fabric I used isn't overly stretchy. I'd say you would probably be ok for the main body but you will need something stretchy for the neckline and cuffs. You could maybe cut on the bias for this though to create some stretch in your woven fabric!

@@nhpatterns Thank so much for your reply that helps. I look forward to your new patterns with non-stretch fabric. Thanks for the great tutorial and free pattern :)

Thank you for the tutorial and pattern. What stitch on a sewing machine would you suggests zigzag or lighting and what length and width ?

@nhpatterns

It will totally depend on your machine and your fabric choice, as a really heavy weight sweat shirting may need different to a lighter weight French terry for example. Both stitch types would work though, I’d say to try a few different options on a scrap piece of fabric and see what you prefer! I tend to go relatively narrow with my zig zags and increase the length depending on how thick the fabric is. I’d start with a width of 2 and length of 3 and see how that goes!

Thank you so much for the insight and quick response. I tend to go with zig zag but having been hearing alot about lighting stitch lately. Trial and error for sure.

Thank you for the informative video! How long did it take for you to learn how to do pattern making? Also, you look like Mary Crowley from Downton Abbey haha 😃

Haha thank you! I do get told I look like her, but normally when I have my hair up! I learned during my fashion degree in 2013 and have been continuously learning ever since, I think it’s one of those skills you’re always developing! ☺️

Hey! If you download the pattern, all the fabric requirements for different sizes are detailed in there based on different width fabrics :)

can this be unisex?

Honestly I don't see why not but i'd maybe make a couple adjustments. I tried it on my boyfriend and it looked kinda weird on him and I couldn't really work out why. It might have just been the size being too small though. I looked at some mens sweatshirts and I think as long as it's made quite oversized in a more slouchy fabric it should be fine! I'd maybe just lower the armhole a bit more and drop the shoulder a bit more to make it appear more oversized and boxy! Men generally have wider shoulders so you want the drop shoulder to still look like a drop shoulder and not just like the seam line is slightly out of place.

May I know how long this took

I’ve made so many of these by now so I’m pretty quick, but I can make one of these in about an hour and a half :)
