Sewing pattern description
The Zero waste jumper sewing pattern by Birgitta Helmersson is suitable for both woven and jersey fabrics.
This jumper sewing pattern works really well in a mid-heavy weight brushed cotton fleece/sweater fabric. It also works great as a lighter weight top in a thinner jersey fabric. If you want to use a non woven fabric choose something in a light – mid weight in a fabric that has a bit of drape to it such as linen blends and viscose fabrics.
For the neck and sleeve band choose a cotton ribbing fabric that has a nice amount of structure to it such as 2×1 rib knits.
Method: This zero waste sewing pattern is a downloadable PDF Instruction booklet. All Birgitta Helmersson sewing patterns are designed to be drawn directly onto your fabric by using small templates which you can make yourself, or print easily on a home printer.
