The snap fasteners and the rounded slit pockets make this hip bomber zip-up sweatshirt ultra-cool. You can make the pattern in various ways:

opt for a sober look, get more creative using a punch-needle or cutting-plotter print, or play with different colors and textures.

pattern pieces & seam allowances (in cm)

• The Connor zip-up sweatshirt can be made in various fabrics, like tricot (sweater, French terry, scuba, thicker tricot, textured tricot, etc.) or a woven fabric (wool, shiny uni fabric, etc.).

• Use an elastic fabric that will maintain its shape for the neckline, wrists, and hems. Narrow ribbing or fabric trim are the best options for this.

• If you’re going to use 100% cotton, then it is best to wash your fabric first because cotton will shrink!

Draw a seam allowance of 1 cm all the way around the paper pattern pieces unless stated otherwise in the illustrations. The sides of the pattern pieces 2 and 3, which lie on the fabric fold ( ), do not have any seam allowance.

Indicate important points on the outline of the pattern:

• by making a nick where a vertical stripe ( ) is or double vertical stripes ( ) are

• by cutting a notch out where a V notch ( ) is

• cut a small corner out of pieces 2 and 3, which lie on the fabric fold, to mark the middle of these pieces.

Mark the places for the buttons ( ) and the important points ( ) using basting threads.

The method used to finish sewing the garment depends on the fabric used. The zip-up sweatshirt can also be made using a serger with 4 threads,

2 looper threads and 2 needle threads. Finish the raw edges and sew the seams together at the same time. The seams will remain stretchy. The sewing instructions explain the method usedfor a sewing machine and serger in one. The various pieces are sewn together each time with the

right sides of the fabric matching exactly, unless stated otherwise.

aPin the inner pocket bag (5) to the front (1) and sew into place at 0.5 cm. Fold the inner pocket bag and the seam allowance to the side. Sew the inner pocket bag into place at 2 mm from the seam through all the layers of fabric.

Finish the long, curved edge of the front with an overlock stitch.
