Jazzy jumpers!

Hi there! My latest post for Minerva Crafts is live on their site today and it’s all about a pair of jumpers I made for my daughters.

I used a pattern by Made, the Everyday Sweatshirt and combined it with some gorgeous fleece backed sweatshirting from Minerva. The crowning glory was the pair of Stoff & Stil patches I brought back with me from my trip to Munich in October.

You can read my thoughts in more detail in my Minerva post; in general, I loved the fabric and the pattern was pretty good. I love the way it is unisex and gives you loads of options with different sleeves and body shapes, plus coordinating pockets for all.

I would say though that I think the sizing is off; I graded between sizes for both girls based between their chest and height. However, the jumpers are still quite short in the body and arm. They just fit now but I don’t think they have much life in them 😢. Something to bear in mind; size up!

Head over to Minerva now for all the details!

Make again? It’s a good useful little pattern but I will definitely add more length to both the body and the arms in future.
