*Pre-Sale* Lauren's Mile End Sweatshirt in Cream Chicacheetah Micro French Terry
A sweatshirt doesn’t have to be plain to be a wardrobe staple, and the Cream Chicacheetah gives this everyday Mile End Sweatshirt a little more personality! It’s a lovely combination of comfort and print, and just the sort of thing I enjoy sewing for my own wardrobe.
Please note: This fabric is on pre-sale. We expect to ship the project out to you before Christmas. If you would like to order other items, please note that any other items ordered with a pre-sale fabric will all be shipped together when the fabric arrives.
French terry is one of my favourite choices for comfortable everyday sewing. This fabric has a smooth face and a soft, looped reverse, with a little stretch to help make the finished garment comfortable to wear.

Lauren's Notes:
• Fabric choice: This French terry is a great match for a sweatshirt, with a smooth surface to show off the print and a soft looped back for comfort. The cream colourway pairs perfectly with our beige ribbing, so I used this for the cuffs and neckband for a professional finish.
• Styling tip: I’d wear this with jeans and trainers, or pair it with relaxed trousers for a comfortable weekend outfit. Cream works beautifully with denim, navy and other neutrals, so it’s easy to bring into your existing wardrobe.
• Difficulty level: A great project for developing your stretch sewing skills. Take your time with the stretch fabric and use a suitable stitch for sewing knits.
