Notes	I used this pattern as a base to make a fun and interesting sweatshirt from French terry that has only about 10% stretch. Pattern changes: I added a self drafted cowl to the neckline. I also narrowed the sleeves and added cuffs so it was more of a sweatshirt look. As drafted the pockets are very shallow; they are also doubled fabric which would have made them too thick in the fabric I was using. I drafted a deeper pocket set higher in the front so it had a bigger hand opening, finished with a fold over facing. I really like the pockets now. Another thing that is clear from the drafting preview but not from the technical drawing is that the front is not curved up but straight across the front. Not a problem, just something to realize. I will definitely make this one again in an interesting blouse fabric.
