The Marina pattern, with its large asymmetrical collar, has been updated this autumn to offer a sleeved version. Marina is therefore a very comprehensive pack, as the design can be sewn as a dress (in two lengths), a top, and now as a sweatshirt.
A versatile sweatshirt version, as you can make it from both knitted and woven fabrics.

-

If you’re unsure between two sizes, choose the larger one, as it’s easier to adjust a garment than to enlarge it! In particular, it’s very easy to take in the underarm seam to adjust the jacket slightly if necessary.
To make your Marina in woven fabric, sew the pattern one size larger than your own.
HEIGHT:
The pattern is designed for a height of 1m65
If you need to lengthen or shorten the pattern, the adjustment lines are marked on the pattern.
-
For the top and the sweatshirt, simply extend the side lines. As they are only slightly flared, this is the simplest method.
-
For the dress, however, cut along the line provided for this purpose and add or remove the necessary amount.
As I am 1m60 tall, I took 2cm off the length of the dress.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS:
The finished garment measurements below (including ease) can also help you choose your size.

Stretchy knits with good structure.
