This is the same as the olive/animal print hoody review, but in a different colour scheme and with different decoration. Most of the time in making this garment was spent on the decoration - the main hoody is super quick and easy to make.

The garment is entirely from polar fleece and I finished the obvious seams with a run of top stitching either side of the seam allowance straight after sewing. This removed the need to press the seam and eliminated the concern of crushing or burning the pile with the iron.

The back of the design has a slightly convex curve on it, which drapes nicely and is very flattering; the sleeves are reasonably close fitting for a garment that is usually baggy and oversized, so the overall design is more elegant than the traditionally casual one.
