I Am Rainbow, a sweatshirt where the only limit is your imagination. Choose from 20 variations with pockets and 10 versions without. Make me with or without a zip. I have two pockets to choose from: kangaroo or welt. At the neckline, choose either a classic or overlapping hood, or neckband, or a ribbing collar. I can be finished with or without ribbing.
VERSIONS
This pattern gives you the possibility of making 30 different versions. The different features of this garment are:
2 styles: zipped hoodie or pullover sweatshirt
2 cuff and bottom finishes: with ribbing or hemmed
2 types of pockets: kangaroo and welt
4 neckline finishes: classic hood, overlapping hood, neckband and ribbed collar
You can then choose the sweatshirt you want to make by combining the different features together.
The pattern is enclosed in an envelope. It contains the sewing pattern along with a step-by-step illustrated explanation guide.
The different pieces overlap with each other so you will need to trace the pattern on paper.
Seam allowances are included.
✂ RECOMMENDED FABRICS:
Garment: jersey for sweatshirt, interlock knit, neoprene, French terry…
Ribbing: ribbing by the meter or the same fabric used for the garment (this
pattern is not designed for using pre-cut ribbing bands). The ribbed collar can only be sewn in ribbing.

✂ SUPPLIES:
Fabrics / Ribbing
Ballpoint needle
Zipped versions: 1 open-end zipper* 23 5/8 ” (60 cm) long
Hooded versions:
1 1/4 yards (120 cm) of drawstring cord
2 eyelets (diameter depends on the drawstring width)
Scrap of non-woven and non-stretch iron-on interfacing
Welt pockets versions: iron-on interfacing: 8″ by 16″ (20 cm x 40 cm)

*23 5/8″ is the conversion for 60 cm which is the length the original pattern is drafted for. You can take a 24″ long zipper but you will have to lengthen the front and back pieces by 3/8″. To understand how to do this, refer to the instructions in step 2 (Preparing the pattern).
