Sewing and the City - Bleeker Sweatshirt

About the Bleeker

The Bleeker Sweatshirt is a loose fitting pull over sweatshirt with a dropped shoulder and ruffle details along the sleeves. The neck is finished with a neckband and the cuffs of the sleeves are finished with cuff bands. The bottom edge is finished with a straight hem for a modern look. Tuck the Bleeker into leather pants or style loose with jeans!

The Fabric

Lightweight to medium weight stretch knits such as: sweatshirt fleece, french terry, jersey knits. If using sweatshirt fleece, we recommend making the ruffle in a lighter weight fabric like cotton, silkies, or organza to reduce bulk.

The Notions

• ½ yard of matching ribbing Advanced: If your main fabric has at least 30% stretch, you can use it in place of ribbing
• Matching thread
