Date: 10/23/12 11:43 AM I love love love the Prarie Underground Hoodie with the oversized hood that is like a ruched shawl collar when down. While I'm sure it's worth the ~$250 price tag, I just don't have that kind of cash. Any suggestions for a similar sewing pattern?

You could put a zipper down the front of B3274, and tack a waistband on. Then, put some pockets from a hoodie like Kwik-Sew 3879. The hood I'm afraid you'd have to experiment with. Perhaps a half-circle ruched to fit the neckline? -- Edited on 10/23/12 12:52 PM --

Not a hoody, but the collar is certainly voluminous. The biggest difference is the pockets, but chop shaped pockets shouldn't be that hard to draw.

You could use Folkwear's Kinsale cloak for the hood and draft your own pockets. Or add a peplum and the pockets, and change the hood of Simplicity 1940. Cute project. I'll join the chorus of hoping it works for you and that you post a review!
Sauvage   Advanced Beginner MA USA Member since 7/22/09 Posts: 545	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 10/24/12 8:18 AM Another vogue jacket that has a big collar and hood (view B). The collar and hood seem like two separate entities, though. I say "seem" like they're separate because I haven't been able to obtain this pattern (at least, not at the 3.99 sale price) despite a few attempts. The big collar and collar/hood combos have intrigued me since I made a few shoulder pieces (what I would call "cowls" but officially seem to be called just "hoods") for quick costume changes in a kids' production of Robin Hood. See views b and c --those are the same accessory with hood up and hood down. I wanted something like that for myself, but just on this side of the line between clothes and costume (wherever that line may be). So i'll watch the voluminous hoodie adventures with interest! -- Edited on 10/24/12 8:20 AM -- ------ Jeanne "Let me live in a world of image and I will never complain." --Louise Bourgeois

Seems like a Frankenpattern is a must, eh? I was eyeballing Vogue 8806, which would need a bit of modification (more than I've ever attempted), but might have "good bones," too.

Then you gather the seam where it attaches to the body. Hoods are easy to make, just determining the amount of fabric is key.
