Date: 11/20/09 11:15 PM I recently purchased some beautiful sweater fabric from EOS and would love to make a twin set. Does anyone have a recommendation for a twin set pattern? |

Date: 11/21/09 11:43 AM Lots of people in my sewing lab like Loes Hinse's sweater set. A few indy fabric stores may carry them and you can order them on line maybe even through PR. I hope you will do a muslin first. |

Date: 11/21/09 12:24 PM I like Jalie 2566 I've made this pattern a ton of times for both myself and my 6 year old daughter.
Sheesh. Edited to fix the link (which was NOT supposed to point to me, LOL).

Date: 11/21/09 10:52 PM My favorite is Kwik Sew 2948, too. I have sewn it many times, varying lengths, sleeves, etc. I have not tired of it--it's definitely one of my most frequently used patterns! I do recommend it heartily. |

Date: 11/22/09 8:00 AM I can't compare many patterns for twinsets. I've only used the Loes Hinse twinset pattern and I've used it 3 or 4 times. I do recommend it - good results, easy to follow instructions, fast/no fuss sewing.

Date: 11/24/09 9:17 AM I used a Burda WOF t-shirt as the basis for my latest twin set. It came out amazing. I used the t-shirt sans sleeves and lowered the front neck for the shell. For the cardigan part I added 3/4" to the front and cut out two fronts instead of one on the fold. I folded back the 3/4" for the front facing, and just turned and stitched the neck edge. I have gotten more compliments on that twinset than almost anything else I wear. Marcy Tilton has an article in Threads about using a T-shirt pattern as a base for a cardigan. If you can find that article, it's a good resource. ------
