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)”.

She carries a glas of water in her right hand. The top right pictures shows an embroidered hummingbird with a circle around it. The thread is grey. The bottom right picture shows a white drawing of the pattern on grey background.


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.

A brown haired model with a high ponytail is wearing the sweatshirt "Cosy", a white, loose fitting shirt with a wide collar. She also wears a clock on her wrist and has a glass of water in her hand. She is looking directly at the camera.

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?

The back of the neck from the free sewing pattern features a humminbird embroidery design, which is emproidered in a grey thread just below the center of the back neckline.

Take a look at the magazine…
