Maeve is the long, flowing cardigan that makes even the simplest outfit feel beautifully put together. Designed with a relaxed silhouette, duster length, and an open front, Maeve is an effortless layering piece that brings softness and movement to your handmade wardrobe.
Choose the classic straight sleeve for a clean, versatile cardigan or the bishop sleeve for a little extra romance and personality. Hidden inseam pockets add everyday practicality without interrupting the cardigan’s smooth, flowing lines.
Sew Maeve in a soft sweater knit for beautiful drape and an elevated boutique look, or choose French terry for a cozy cardigan with a little more structure. Layer it over dresses, jeans, leggings, or simple knit separates whenever you want comfort, coverage, and an effortlessly feminine finish.

Recommended Fabrics
Maeve is designed for light- to medium-weight knit fabrics with comfortable stretch, good recovery, and enough drape to fall softly around the body.
Recommended fabrics include:
-
Sweater knits
-
French terry
-
Ribbed knit
-
Bamboo jersey
-
Modal spandex
-
Double brushed poly
-
Soft jersey knits
A minimum of 20% horizontal stretch and 10% vertical stretch is recommended.
Sweater knits and French terry are especially recommended. Sweater knits create a soft, relaxed cardigan with beautiful drape, while French terry gives Maeve a little more structure while remaining comfortable and easy to wear.
Bamboo, modal, and double brushed poly can be used for a softer, more fluid version. Ribbed knits will add texture and stretch and may produce a slightly closer fit depending on the fabric.
Fabric Requirements
Fabric yardage is based on 58-inch-wide fabric.
Directional fabrics may require additional yardage.
