Description
From the Project Night & Day, we proudly present the Verdant Windbreaker pattern by Ajaire of Call Ajaire. The Verdant Windbreaker will be your go‐to layering piece! See all the patterns in this collection here.
Pattern Features:
The Verdant Windbreaker is a pattern for either a windbreaker or sweatshirt with a dramatic hood for extra warmth and comfort, but the drama doesn’t have to end there. The oversized dropped shoulder leads to a subtle curved center front, back, and lower panels which are perfect for colorblocking. The sleeve and bottom hems are finished with elastic to create a slight bubble effect. There are four views, sized from 12 months through 16 years.
The windbreaker views A and B are fully lined and have two front pockets. The first is a center front drop in zipper pocket that is concealed with a flap. A cool feature is that if you use a reversible zipper, the pocket doubles as a stuff sack that the whole windbreaker can fit inside ‐ how very 90’s! The second pocket is a kangaroo style, with side front zipper openings on each side for access.
The unlined sweatshirt views C and D may not have all the bells and whistles as the first two, but are fantastically quick and cozy sews. Softshell works great in these views too. Better yet, use your favorite fluffy fabric for a pullover that dreams are made of.
Views B and D are simply cropped versions of their counterparts. This on‐trend look is perfect for a tween or teen looking for something a little edgy or unique.
Whether cropped or long, all‐weather or indoor‐cozy, your Verdant Windbreaker will be the layering piece you didn’t know you needed, but can’t live without.
Fabric Recommendations:
Woven fabrics such as boardshort, nylon, softshell, poplin, broadcloth, as well as specialty fabrics like Ultrex. Sturdy knit fabrics may be used for the unlined views C and D such as fleece, sweatshirting, french terry, and Cloud Cuddle©
