Hooray! Hoodie

I made a sweatshirt hoodie for Big Sis. She has been asking for this pattern for ages then my go-to-jersey online shop myfabrics.co.uk kindly sent me some fabric and I got stuck in.


The fabric needed was sweatshirt jersey, which is fleecy on the reverse. I also received fantastic quality single jersey for the hoodie lining along with matching cuffing fabric. I like to buy my fabric from the UK but this German company has such a wide choice of Jersey. Since I have owned an overlocker I have bought a lot more of these stretch fabrics for childrens wear.



The cuffing from this company is amazing; tight knit, firm and in an amazing array of colours. 


She really loves it as you can tell.




Thanks for looking.

All views are genuinely my own. I chose the pattern from Ottobre and then selected appropriate fabric to make it. Myfabrics.co.uk sent me the jersey free of charge. Many thanks.

  6. Dear Jo
    Another fabulous project! Congratulations! I have bought fabrics from Myfabrics too and was seriously impressed with the choice. I was looking for one particular retro floral cotton, couldn't find it in the UK, but found it there. They were very quick and efficient too.
    Best wishes

  11. I think I've probably said similar before, but I don't think anyone would know this was hand made (apart from people who know you I guess). It's perfectly finished and just looks fabulous! Have you ever thought about entering the Sewing Bee? I don't know if you've watched it (I was obsessed haha) but I think you'd be great on it :D

    1. I have been thinking about it but the time constraint may unleash my habit to use the F word while sewing more than usual! Thanks for the compliment anyway...I will keep thinking.
