Retro guitar hoodie


I haven't made anything for Jamie for about a year and now that he's not treating my wares a kryptonite, I thought it was high time I did. He was so grateful and excited about it I really need to work on more boy stuff!


This is like version twelve of my hoodie pattern and I'm finally happy with it.


And seeing as I've finally managed to track down some reversible zippers that don't cost more than the fabric required, I made it reversible. The other side is soft flannel with big guitar pockets. I'm liking how it ties in the interior of the hood.


Today's task is to scale the final 3T / 4T pattern down to the 18m/2T size and write the tute up. So... anyone with a bit of spare time and a fabric stash want to test this? Maybe someone with a boy for a change? I can throw in a reversible zip!

    I love it! The guitar print is great, my son would adore that. As for testing your pattern - in my dreams I'd run one up in no time - in reality I'd find it easier to fly to the moon...
