You can sew that trendy sweater yourself!

A trendy sweater with wide sleeves? Make it yourself!
In the original version or with one of our hacks: the open shoulder or the jacquard sleeve.
We'll guide you through making a sweater using the Laure pattern from Bel'etoile—totally trendy! You'll get tips on working with stretch fabrics, sewing wide sleeves beautifully, and attaching cuffs correctly.
You choose the original model (with or without hip band) OR one of our hacks:
- an open shoulder (see photos)
- the sleeve at the bottom with jacquard (or another soft fabric) in one piece (see photos)
Note: These hacks are only possible when using sweater fabric, not woven, non-stretch fabrics. We recommend stretch fabrics.
Size: bust 80 cm to 134 cm (size 32-54).
Difficulty level:
Some experience is required (beginner's workshop, keep-on-sewing, etc.). The pattern should be drawn beforehand. We'll cut the fabric here.
