We were hugely delighted to find stretch terry in certified 100% organic cotton! Soft, supple and absolutely wonderful to wear, it's a lovely material for sweatshirts and sweatpants for anybody, and especially perfect for children's clothes.
We used the stretch terry for the schoolgirl's straight-cut tunic with wide sleeves. The fullness of the sleeves is created by the pleats at the sleeve caps and gathered to the ribbed cuffs. The tunic has a horizontal seam with inserted pockets on the front and a wide ribbed hem band. The neckline is finished with a ribbed binding.

Last year in the autumn issue of OTTOBRE woman (5/2021) we published a pattern for a woman's trenchcoat that turned out super-popular. We now designed a trenchcoat in children's sizes, so that moms and daughters can dress up in similar outfits for their autumn walks!
This trenchcoat is sewn from tightly-woven cotton blend fabric and has no lining. It is slightly A-line, and the sleeves are wide enough to wear over a cardigan. The wide collar with lapels, the double-breasted closure with imitation horn buttons and the back hem vent add to the classic trenchcoat look.

A one-piece coverall is the easiest and most practical outdoor garment for babies. This coverall doesn't need a lining because it's made from softshell fleece that has a water-repellent outer layer and a soft fleece backing.
When designing the coverall, we paid special attention to its functionality. The zippers open up to the knees, so that dressing and undressing is easy. Below the neckline under the zippers there are zipper guards that close with Velcro.
The hat with ties is shaped with darts on the crown, and the ear flaps keep the head cosy and warm. The matching lined mittens complement this lovely outerwear outfit.

Breathable waffle-textured cotton jersey feels soft and lovely. It is also an easy and pleasant material to work with. The patterns for this hoodie and sweatpants set are very straight-forward and therefore perfectly suitable also for beginners to sewing.
The hoodie had raglan sleeves, a well-shaped hood and a kangaroo pocket on the front. The sweatpants are specifically designed to be worn over a diaper. They have pockets in the side seams and an elastic casing at the waist.
