I am a sweatshirt, a dress and a t-shirt as I come in 15 versions. I have a relaxed fit. My neckline is finished with a ribbing, like a classic T-shirt.
I come in 5 different styles. The short versions are crop-tops with two waist finishes: one elasticated, the other hemmed. I also have a sweatshirt version that stops at the high hips and is finished with an elasticated hem. The version that stops at the hip features a single folded hem, just like a classic T-shirt. The final version is a dress with a double gathered flounce which is sewn at hip level and stops mid-thigh.
I have 3 set-in sleeves: one short sleeve like a classic T-shirt, one long fitted sleeve, and one long, wide sleeve finished with an elasticated hem.
A bundle with the I AM Mowgli joggers is available .

All seam allowances are included in the pattern.
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. If you prefer a ready-to-cut pattern, try the pdf version as pieces do not overlap with each other.
