How to Draft a Funnel Neck Pullover — Sewing With Numbers Project 004 Draft-It-Yourself Manual
Learn how to draft your own funnel collar pullover — inspired by cozy, athletic-style fleece sweatshirts from the 1990s. This digital drafting manual walks you step-by-step through creating a custom-fit tunic block and turning it into a pullover with a relaxed, boxy fit, drop shoulders, yoke and a funnel neck.
Inside the 21-page PDF, you’ll learn to draft:
A tunic block + drop shoulder sleeves
A snap placket
A funnel-style collar
Four design variations:
Zippered Jacket with Cuffs
Sleeveless Vest
Angled Color-Blocked Yoke
Color-Blocked Front
Plus: how to true corners + optional fit adjustments
Perfect for intermediate sewists or beginner-to-intermediate pattern drafters, this guide helps you expand your skills beyond sewing and construction into designing your own garments.
Please note: This is a drafting manual, not a sewing pattern. Pattern pieces and construction instructions are not included. A free overview of basic construction can be found in the Sewing With Numbers Project Journal.

ABOUT SEWING WITH NUMBERS
Sewing With Numbers is a newsletter hosted on Substack about sewing, math and how to draft your own sewing patterns. Through simple pattern drafting exercises, I'll show you how fun, useful and empowering math can be. Every 8 to 10 weeks, I feature a different drafting project, with each lesson building upon the learnings from previous ones. (This pdf booklet is a bundle of all the posts needed to draft one project.) The newsletter goes out about once a week with topics such as drafting exercises and design variations.
