*Pre-sale* Lauren's Jarrah Sweater in Navy Chichacheetah Mirco French Terry
There’s something lovely about a handmade sweatshirt that feels just as good for a relaxed day at home as it does when you’re heading out! My Jarrah Sweater is a great everyday make, and I love how the Navy Bee Happy Blooms French Terry gives it a more playful feel.
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 has a lovely balance of comfort and structure, making it a great choice for a sweatshirt. Its stretch gives you ease of movement, while the smooth surface shows off the floral print beautifully.
• Styling tip: I’d wear this with jeans and trainers for an easy everyday outfit, or layer it over a shirt for a little extra interest. The cream colourway works well with denim, soft neutrals and other light shades.
• Difficulty level: A brilliant beginner-friendly project and a great introduction to sewing with knits. My Top Tips video is there to help you along the way too!
