Pattern Description:
A versatile hoody with some waist shaping, tapering out at hips
Pattern Sizing:
XS - XXL
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Mostly
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Not sure, as they were in an accompanying Craftsy class, which I haven't completed.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
For once, a hoody pattern that is reasonably flattering for the female figure, super quick to sew and easy to alter to make each one individual.
Fabric Used:
Polar fleece
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
On this one, I graded up through the sizes from shoulders down to hips, then also added an inverted front hem as they are quite fashionable at the moment. I also faced the hem, cuffs and hood edge with a contrast animal print fleece.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Already done! I have made another version and they are both Christmas presents for sisters in law.
Conclusion:
Love it, I can see a hoody production line coming along!

Very pretty and it looks warm and comfy. Don't you just love those Craftsy classes?

Very cute, love the hemline and of course the pink leopard print. So what did you think of the class?
