The Sleeved Leotard is one of our most popular patterns and is the perfect base for your creativity. So let's take a look at what's new...
PROJECTOR FILE
Projector files have been added with a calibration grid in either inches or centimetres. If you are new to sewing with projectors, there are various facebook groups to help guide you. Projectors for Sewing and Projectors for Sewing - Australia & NZ are 2 helpful groups.
REVISED SHAPING
Revised side shaping at side seam and waist and a minor update of the leg line makes the pattern consistent with our latest patterns. This makes it even easier to get mashing, including being able to easily add a higher leg line by laying the Shark Bite or Asymmetrical Suit pattern over the top.
EXTENDED WAIST SIZING
The pattern now makes it easier to accommodate our kiddos needing a little more waist room with markings and a tutorial on how to extend the waist.
BROAD SHOULDER ADJUSTMENT
Broad shoulder adjustment lines have been added to accommodate broader shouldered kids making the sleeve sit better and giving a greater range of motion.
UPDATED FITTING TUTORIAL
The fitting tutorial in the pattern has been updated to be consistent with our latest swim and leo patterns. It also now includes information on adjustments for sway backs.
