A quick sew this afternoon.  This pattern was my T&T before I lost weight.  Today I had to reprint it so that I could cut it four sizes smaller!
I cut the front and back in grey stretch sweatshirt fabric, and cut another front in a floral stretch mesh.  I overlocked the mesh to the sweatshirt front and treated them as one fabric.  The sleeves are mesh only.
Rather than add bands at neck, cuffs and hem as the pattern suggests, I just turned under and cover stitched into place for a nice, neat finish.
Really pleased with how this turned out, especially as it was a quickie, although I now realise I could have gone down at least one more size.

You top looks great and you should be really proud of yourself for that weight loss! It’s not easy to lose weight.

I love Jalie and they’re really good value as you get so many sizes included - could make something for all the family!
Sorry @Celia should have linked the pattern.  It’s this one.  https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&channel=mac_bm&source=hp&ei=CxBZXbLnJoTWkwX2uIiIAQ&q=jalie+sweatshirt&oq=jalie+sweatsh&gs_l=mobile-gws-wiz-hp.1.0.0.2374.7141..8222...0.0..0.128.1062.13j1......0....1.......0..0i131j46i131j46i131i275j46j46i275j0i10j5j0i22i30j0i22i10i30j33i160.5vbDLwPVtHQ#imgrc=_L1qTakUEZIvdM:
I lengthened it by 2.5 inches and omitted the bands.

Very nice @Fiona M  Great weight loss too.  Well done.  Where did you get stretch mesh from?  Never seen any.

@Ohsewsimple thanks!  I bought the mesh on a visit to Lucky Fabrics in Dewsbury a couple of years ago.  It was very cheap!  Always had it in mind for a sweatshirt with an overlaid front.
The stretch sweatshirt fabric is lovely quality, and that was an expensive online purchase from JerseyFashion.NL.

Thanks @Fiona M I had forgotten about that website.  They always have some lovely stuff.  I suppose if we want anything from Europe we'd better get it quick before tax etc all goes up. 
Mmmm, might be doing that this afternoon.
