I Am Rainbow mini, a sweatshirt where the only limit is your imagination. Choose from 50 variations with pockets and 20 versions without.
I can be created in two different lengths: classic or above the knee; I have three pockets to choose from: kangaroo, welt or in-seam. Make me with or without a zip. At the neckline, choose either a classic or overlapping hood or neckband, or a ribbed collar. I can be finished with or without ribbing.
Sizes: 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 years
Seam allowances: Included
All seam allowances are included in the pattern.
The different pieces overlap with each other so you will need to trace the pattern on paper. If you prefer a ready-to-cut pattern, try the pdf version as pieces do not overlap with each other.
The pattern is enclosed in an envelope. It contains the sewing pattern along with a step-by-step illustrated explanation guide.
The size ranges from 3 to 14 years old. See sizing guide below.
This pattern gives you the possibility of making 50 different versions (and 20 more versions without pockets). The different features of this garment are:
2 styles: zipped hoodie or pullover sweatshirt
2 cuff and bottom finishes: with ribbing or hemmed
2 lengths: classic and above-knee
3 types of pockets: kangaroo, welt or inseam
4 neckline finishes: classic hood, overlapping hood, neckband and ribbed collar
You can then choose the sweatshirt you want to make by combining the different features together.
