After making these hoodies for myself, the girl wanted something along the same lines.
I didn’t go all out with this hoodie, however. I decided to just modify the Foliis pattern I had from Sofilantjes.
It was a pretty easy modification. I just cut the back pieces, added a seam allowance and added the pleather/eyelet piece. The middle back piece I added some width to it, so it would gather a little bit.
The pleather piece is about 6″ long and I have the bottom edge at about the waist on the pattern. The lacing is elastic, so it stretches.
The fabric is a bamboo stretch fleece for the main body. The hood and cuffs are a bamboo spandex. The inside hood houndstooth is from Fabric Anthropology.
The buttons are metal and from Pacific Trimmings. I should have gone a little smaller, but they are nice. They are a little heavy, so I will have to watch and see if they start tearing the fabric from the weight. I should have probably added a small facing just to give it some extra durability.
Overall, pretty cute hoodie for the tween!
whooh, i love it.
Thank you!
