Made-to-measure jumper and sweatshirt pattern
To get a made-to-measure jumper or sweatshirt pattern, start from a photo of the garment you like: the studio reads its neckline, its sleeves and its ease, then drafts a pattern fitted to your body measurements, ready to print with its sewing instructions.
Made to measure, piece by piece
Why a jumper pattern to your measurements changes everything
Jumpers and sweatshirts are sewn in soft knits (sweatshirt fleece, heavy jersey, brushed sweatshirting) where ease is everything for comfort. Too snug, the jumper restricts the shoulders; too loose, it sags. We start from your shoulder length, your bust and your sleeve length to give the ease that matches the look you want, from close-fitting to oversized.
The studio covers the crew-neck jumper, the relaxed sweatshirt, long set-in sleeves, and ribbing at the cuffs, waist and neckline. The body and sleeve lengths can be adjusted to fall exactly where you want.
The pattern prints at 1:1 scale, seam allowances included, markings and grainline shown, along with step-by-step sewing instructions — an excellent project for getting to grips with knits. In the studio, you can adjust the ease and the length free of charge and, depending on the design drafted, other points too.

Questions we're often asked
Questions about the pattern for jumper
Can I get a jumper or sweatshirt pattern from a photo?
Yes. The neckline, the shoulder line and the fullness — close-fitting or oversized — can be read from a front-view photo: the studio then drafts the pattern to your body measurements, ribbing included.
What measurements do I need for a made-to-measure jumper?
Shoulder length, bust, back length and sleeve length. The ease is then set according to the look you're after, from a fitted jumper to a relaxed sweatshirt.
Which fabric should I choose to sew a sweatshirt?
Sweatshirt fleece or heavy jersey, with matching ribbing for the cuffs, waist and neckline. The instructions give the fabric requirements according to fabric width.
Should I make a toile?
Yes, a toile is recommended: cut it from an inexpensive knit with similar stretch to your good fabric. Seam allowances included, markings and grainline shown, printed at home at 1:1 scale, with sewing instructions that detail how to attach the ribbing.
