MV Bias Pullover PDF Download

You will receive a link to a digital file. Please download and save to a computer desktop. This is a one piece pattern, the file is for 30 pages on US letter that will need to be taped together. For A4 please adjust size in your printer preferences and check the 3” test square on page 6. 

Yardage
Allow approximately 1.25 yards of 45” fabric. If you are working with wider fabric this will allow you some room to play with extending the sleeve or entire length of top. This is a low waste pattern so please use the extra fabric scraps to make bias binding for the edges or other details if you choose. For the toile (sample) choose a fabric which will drape such as a rayon challis or other soft fabric, muslin is too crisp.

Sizing and Fit
Pattern includes the sizes - small, medium, and large or bust 32 to 40. Please grade up according to your preferences - this is very easy but slashing and spreading.

Theoretically this pattern can fit any size but this pattern assumes the sewer will be able to enlarge accordingly to his or her body measurements. You don’t necessarily have to be “advanced” but just fearless in your sewing. I also recommend slashing from edge to edge and spreading in the areas you would like to enlarge considerably. For larger sizes wider fabric and possibly more yardage is recommended. You may need to incorporate piecing depending. As is the large will just fit on 45” wide fabric so if enlarging or lengthening is desired a wider width fabric will be preferred. This pattern is also a great point of departure for more designs and variations so play with the shape and have fun.

The bottom of the top sits around the lower waistline. This is a little top great on it’s own or as a layering piece under jackets and sweaters. A perfect top to make with silk - it feels great against the skin and works well with panels and larger prints. You don’t necessarily have to be “advanced” but just fearless in your sewing.

For beginning to advanced skills depending on how creative you want to be.

A Word About CFPD Patterns

Our patterns are meant to be ‘educational patterns’ that is they are unusual and most often have some feature that is a learning experience which is the whole point in publishing them. Therefore they may not contain detailed sewing instructions or additional pieces such as linings and/or facings since the focus is on the cut of the main pieces, leaving secondary details to the preferences and skills of the cutter. As in all unusual patterns, it is best to make a toile - a sample - to work out the construction and also to adjust the fullness and ease to your chosen fabrics if necessary.
