Variations

Ash is a versatile children's sweatshirt and dress pattern that allows your customers to create a wide range of garments. From a comfortable everyday sweatshirt to a playful dress or trendy sleeveless sweater vest, Ash combines a relaxed fit with an impressive variety of design options.

The real highlight of this pattern is its seven different neckline finishes, all designed to fit the same V-shaped neckline opening. Combined with three lengths and two sleeve options, these allow your customers to create a completely different look each time using just one base pattern.

Your customers can choose from the following options:

• Three lengths: regular-length sweatshirt, short above-the-knee dress or long dress with side slits
• Two sleeve options: long sleeves or a sleeveless version
• V-neck band for a classic, timeless look
• Round neckband for a casual sweatshirt or dress
• High collar for extra warmth and comfort
• High collar with zip for a sporty, modern look
• Lined hood for a comfortable hoodie or sweatshirt dress
• Wrap-over collar for a distinctive finish
• Sailor collar for a playful, contemporary look
• Plenty of possibilities for fabric combinations and colour blocking

Thanks to its many possible combinations, Ash is a pattern your customers can return to throughout the year, from a cosy winter sweatshirt to a lighter sleeveless dress.

Skill level

Easy to intermediate, depending on the neckline finish selected.

Ash has a difficulty rating of two out of four dots and is suitable for confident beginners who would like to learn new sewing techniques. The basic construction is straightforward, but neatly inserting the neckline finish into the V-shaped opening requires a little extra precision.

Your customers will practise techniques such as attaching stretch neckbands, sewing an inset into a V-shaped opening and using different methods to finish the armholes of the sleeveless version.

The high collar with zip version has a difficulty rating of three out of four dots, as inserting the zip neatly requires additional accuracy.

Fit

Ash has a relaxed, roomy fit that gives children plenty of freedom of movement to play and move comfortably. Its modern silhouette provides enough room for layering without being excessively oversized.

The sweatshirt version has a regular length and is ideal for everyday wear. The sleeveless version can easily be worn as a sweater vest over a T-shirt or shirt.

The dress versions fall straight from the chest and are available in two lengths. The short dress finishes above the knee, while the long dress features side slits for extra freedom of movement.

With its different lengths, sleeve options and neckline finishes, Ash can be adapted to a wide range of styles and seasons.

Fabric recommendations

• Medium- to heavyweight fabrics such as sweatshirt fleece, jogging fabric and French terry are ideal for comfortable sweatshirts and sweatshirt dresses
• Knitted fabrics and teddy fleece create warm, soft winter versions
• Thanks to the relaxed fit, woven fabrics can also be used for the front, back and sleeves
• The sailor collar, lined hood and high collar with zip can also be made from woven fabrics
• For the V-neck band, round neckband, high collar and wrap-over collar, ribbing or a knitted fabric with sufficient stretch is essential
• The different neckline finishes offer plenty of opportunities to combine fabrics, colours and textures

Ash gives fabric retailers the opportunity to showcase sweatshirt fabrics, knitted fabrics and woven fabrics within a single pattern. Thanks to its many variations, it is an excellent way to inspire customers to combine different fabrics and coordinating sewing supplies for every season and occasion.
