Hoodies

I found this fab pattern on etsy for this hoodie.  It looked super easy and fall is upon us, so here is the result!  I opted for flannel for the lining but I am not sure I would do that again.  I mean, it looks really cool, but flannel does not have much stretch, as does the sweatshirt fabric.  I have never used sweatshirt fabric before and it wasn't too bad to use.  I made sure I finished all seams with my overlock foot, which helped the seams lay flat...and TOPSTITCHING. I dedicated an entire post to my love affair with TOPSTITCHING and I meant it!  Also, I opted for snaps instead of buttons.  Buttons made it look pretty girly so that was a definite no-go.  Brian took Rad to a Marquette football game and Rad came home perfectly warm!  Okay, off to my next project.

  1. Love them! THey look really really good. And I agree the topstitching makes all the difference. Too bad we have no need for hoodies, or I would give this a try. Nicely done

  2. Same here, love the hoodies, but not willing to actually make them for the two days up in Prescott they will wear them. Love them on your boys though. I am going to try making some reversible little girl shoes this week, I got the pattern off etsy too, so I'll let you know how they turn out.
