From Sew Liberated:

The Nest Sweatshirt, made with a comfortable knit fabric and a distinctive center quilt block, is so versatile and one-of-a-kind that it may become the most-worn item in your closet. You can throw it on over leggings, wear it French-tucked into jeans, or layer it over a dress.

With a unique cross-over neckline, raglan sleeves that hang beautifully from the shoulders, and that gorgeous quilt block, you will radiate strong artistic vibes.

It’s also incredibly fun to sew: use up your scraps, enjoy color blocking, and add some handsewn texture to put your own stamp on this elevated sweatshirt design.

Fabric Recommendations: 

  • For View A, we recommend a stable knit fabric, such as cotton interlock or mid-weight ponte. Birch Organic Cotton Interlock is a wonderful choice, weighing 6.6 oz/yard with a 60% crossgrain stretch and 20% stretch along the grain. Less crosswise grain stretch is acceptable as well, and will be easier to handle when you’re piecing the sawtooth star quilt block. View A has a pieced block on the front - this is an excellent opportunity to get creative with color, scraps, and hand stitching!
  • For View B, you can use similar mid-weight knits such as cotton interlock, ponte, and double knits as well as French terry, and tighter sweater knits.

Sizes: 0-34
