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: French terry is a lovely option for a sweatshirt because it combines comfort with enough body to give the garment some shape. The Chicacheetah print adds plenty of character, and the cornflower blue is refreshing and colourful!

• Design changes: A classic garment such as this is a great base for tweaking to your personal style. I reduced the height of the neckband and also made the hem band more fitted on this cropped version.

• Styling tip: I’d pair this with jeans or simple joggers and trainers. The cornflower blue works well with denim, navy and soft neutral shades, letting the print do the talking.

• Difficulty level: A great project if you’re ready to sew with stretch fabrics. Take your time and make sure you use a suitable stitch that can stretch with the fabric.

The fabric quantity included is suitable for making the cropped version of the Pine Raglan Sweatshirt in sizes A-P, based on the pattern's recommended fabric requirements. If you're making a different size or different version, check the pattern instructions in the gallery and adjust the quantity before adding to your basket.
