For the first time since the monthly free download of the magazine “inspiration” started, you can not only download a free pattern, but an embroidery design as well! The sweatshirt “Cosy” features a hummingbird at the back of the neck as a special highlight. Do not miss out on the free sewing pattern and embroidery design of February.
You can download the pattern, instructions and embroidery file for free until February 28, 2023 in the paragraph “Download the free sewing pattern for the sweatshirt “Cosy” (February only)”. As always, you’ll have to be quick because each pattern is only available for free download in the month stated.
Sewing the sweatshirt “Cosy”
You can use a knit fabric of your choice for this project. A fabric with a fluffy texture on the inside will make the sweater especially cosy 😃. If you plan on sewing this project on your overlock, then check Bea’s tutorial for the sweatshirt Cosy! She has documented the process for you. Just look at these satisfying seams!
For the collar, cut the fabric in or at 90° to the grain (depending on the elasticy of the fabric), using the stretchier option. Before sewing on the collar, check whether the head fits through! You can also iron seam tape on the seam allowances on the back part’s shoulder area. This will reduce the stretching of the shoulder seams over time.
If you wish to embroider the cute hummingbird, then embroider it on your pattern piece before you sew your sweatshirt together. To achieve a clean result, choosing the right stabilizer for your fabric is the key to success. Check out Mirjams article to find which stabilizer would suit your fabric best: Which stabilizer for which material?
Take a look at the magazine…
The pattern and sewing instructions for the sweatshirt “Cosy” appeared in the inspiration Magazine 3/2021.
In this issue you will find a shell coat, a comfortable jersey dress, a teddy jacket or homewear to be cosily wrapped up. But also a floral dress, a leather skirt and a sparkling blouse with matching clutch – quickly sewn and very striking. There is an adorable frilled dress for our little princesses and also something for the little princes. The home office benefits from a discreetly chic look and we have also the right accessories for a pleasant board game party in store.

You can use a printing service to print out the A0 format.
