CUT DESCRIPTION
Mara is a comfortable, modern top that offers two different sleeve options. Sleeve A is a contemporary interpretation of the romantic puffed sleeve, in which the fabric is not kept in the classic way, but rather gets its volume in the shoulder through sophisticated folds. The B sleeve shows the sportier side with a boxy silhouette and emphasis on the shoulders. The cut is figure-hugging without being tight. In the upper part of the arm, a fullness is intended due to the design. The neckline at Mara is moderate and can either be sewn with a narrow cuff made of the same fabric as the top, or with a wider rib cuff for a casual look. Both sleeves and hem have the option of being finished with a ribbed cuff or with a classic turned-up hem. The cuff is added to the ¾ length of the sleeve. Instructions for trimming the neck cuffs with a neck tape are included in the pattern instructions. The seam allowance of 0.7 cm for the seam with the overlock or a wide zigzag stitch on the sewing machine is included in all pattern pieces.

FABRIC RECOMMENDATION
Mara is a cut for stretch fabrics such as jersey, punto, terry or sweat. The stretch should be clearly visible. For thicker fabrics such as terry or sweat, it is advisable to sew one size larger. The fabrics should always be pre-washed to avoid later shrinkage. 
If you would like to work with rib cuffs, you should pay attention to quality and shape retention.
