MV Bias Pullover Basic Information

Yardage
Allow approximately 1.25 yards of 45” fabric. If you need to enlarge the pattern to fit I recommend wider fabric this will also allow you some room to play with extending the sleeve or entire length of top. This is a low waste pattern so please use the extra fabric scraps to make bias binding for the edges or other details if you choose. For the toile (sample) choose a fabric which will drape such as a rayon challis or other soft fabric, muslin is too crisp.

Sizing and Fit
Pattern includes the sizes - small, medium, and large or bust 32 to 40. Please grade up according to your preferences - this is very easy by just following the grading according to your specifications.

Theoretically this pattern can fit any size but this pattern assumes the sewer will be able to enlarge accordingly to his or her body measurements. You don’t necessarily have to be “advanced” but just fearless in your sewing. I also recommend slashing from edge to edge and spreading in the areas you would like to enlarge considerably. For larger sizes wider fabric and possibly more yardage is recommended. You may need to incorporate piecing depending. As is the large will just fit on 45” wide fabric so if enlarging or lengthening is desired a wider width fabric will be preferred. This pattern is also a great point of departure for more designs and variations so play with the shape and have fun.

The bottom of the top sits around the lower waistline. This is a little top great on it’s own or as a layering piece under jackets and sweaters. A perfect top to make with silk - it feels great against the skin and works well with panels and larger prints.

Pattern is printed on 20# white bond paper stored in a 12.75 x 15” rigid 100% recycled content envelope. The sticker label is zero waste including the glue all can be thrown in the compost bin!
