True Bias Marlo Sweater

True Bias

£13.00 – £20.00

Buy the Marlo Sweater sewing pattern from True Bias. Marlo is an oversized sweater with a dropped shoulder, deep V-neck, wide bands and large buttons. View A is cropped length. View B has patch pockets and hits around mid thigh.

Suggested fabrics: The main sweater can be sewn up in stretch or nonstretch fabric. The bindings require at least 20% stretch. You can use the same fabric for both or use a contrasting fabric for the bindings. Suggested fabrics include medium weight fabrics such as sweater knit, french terry, sweatshirting, polar fleece, rib knit and boucle.

Fabric requirements: The fabric requirements assume you are using the same fabric for the main sweater and bindings. If using a contrasting binding, source 3/4 yd and subtract it from the total. Extra fabric may be needed to match stripes/plaids.

Sizes 0 – 18: View A: 45″ (114 cm) wide fabric (sizes 0-14 only): 2.5 yd (2.3 m) / 54″ (137 cm) wide fabric: 2 – 2.5 yd (1.8 – 2.3 m) // View B: 45″ (114 cm) wide fabric (sizes 0-14 only): 3 yd (2.7 m) / 54″ (137 cm) wide fabric: 2.2 – 3 yd (2 – 2.7 m).

Sizes 14 – 30: 54″ (137 cm) wide fabric: View A, 2.5 yd (2.3 m) // View B, 3 yd (2.7 m).

Sizing: US 0 – 18 with a C cup (approx. UK 8 – 20) or US 14 – 30 with a D cup (approx. UK 16 – 32). Please check the size charts and finished garment measurements.

Note: The size ranges have been drafted from different blocks. The 14 – 30 block has a slightly more curvy set of dimensions than the 0 – 18 block. The 14 – 30 block has a D instead of a C cup (meaning a 4″ rather than a 3″ difference between your full and high bust) and has a 1″ larger difference between the waist and hip circumference. Both size ranges are drafted for an average height of 5’5″.

Notions: Coordinating thread; stretch sewing machine needle; 1/4 yd fusible interfacing // View A: Three 1 1/8” (30 mm) buttons // View B: Four 1 1/8” (30 mm) buttons // Optional: 3/4 yd (sizes 0-18) or 1 yd (sizes 14-30) of 3/8″ clear elastic.
