Disclaimer:

Aster is a 100% zero-waste sewing pattern meaning no paper is used to assemble it. The pattern pieces are drawn directly onto the fabric using chalk or a marking tool according to the layout in the instructions. There is no paper pattern to be printed except for the neckline templates included with the pattern.

Description:

A modern take on the everyday knit Henley. The Aster was meant to be paired with jeans, layered over tanks, worn with sweats, and basically taken with you wherever you go. Two views featuring a quarter sleeve or long sleeve, partial placket, neckband ad hem band with some layouts featuring optional chest pockets.

The hack guide features options for a t-shirt, dress, turtleneck and funnel collar sweatshirt.

WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE?

The versatility in fit for Aster depending on if you size up or down makes this pattern an everlasting workhorse in your pattern collection. Wear as an everyday top or a sweatshirt, layered or unlayered. Remove the placket for a simple everyday knit top. Use the hack guide to make the most of this pattern that can do basically anything. With a nod to vintage design, Aster gives you everything you've been looking for in a shirt.

NOTE: Using zero waste drafting techniques, this pattern is drawn directly on the fabric, cut and sewn together.

ZERO WASTE DESIGN / WASTE RATING

★ ★ ★ ★
4 Stars - this pattern has minimal to no waste. Any waste included are squares and/or rectangles of reasonable size that can be repurposed for other projects or pieces in the pattern.

No paper is used to assemble this pattern. The pattern pieces are drawn directly onto the fabric using chalk or a marking tool according to the layout in the instructions. This method of patterning benefits the environment and your fabric stash as no paper is used and all of the specific fabric is used up leaving little to no waste.

Projector files are included. Those who prefer a paper pattern can draw the pattern onto large format paper and have the pattern to use for future sewing!
