Alrighty.
I've got the materials for this and I'm going to hack away at it until my fingers fall off or I have a fabulous new hoodie. Whichever comes first.

I have flannel for the outside and some cotton (batiste? idk what it was called) for the lining. I dont know if I'm going to line the whole thing or not.

I'm gonna try and finagle out a pullover hoodie. I guess I'd just cut out two "back" pieces?

GAHHH I love this pattern. I'm sOO exited! DefINITELY going to post pics.


EDIT- I was planning on making a zebra patterned hoodie with green ribbing/lining. Wouldnt that be so cute?

Well, i thought so. But apparently my local Hancock Fabrics doesnt carry zebra flannel. Or cotton.
They had zebra fauxfur but I declined.

thats a fairly easy tutorial.  i like that you use a t-shirt for a template.  this is really my favorite way to make clothes... without a pattern, just a basic knowledge of how it goes together.  theres nothing quite as comfy and cute as a hoodie, but you can never find them in a really great fabric.  this is so cool. thanks for this!  that veggietales one is so cute and quirky--its awesome.

That looks wonderful and very cozy!

I've always wondered: where do you find/buy sleeve cuff and bottom cuff elastic material? I've made hoodies before, but always with normal fabric for the band part.

Thanks!

ZIPPER SOURCE:  You can order a cool zipper making thing by going to denverfabrics.com.  There's a notion called "Make A Zipper By the Spool".  It comes with 5 yards of zipper and some zipper pulls.  You cut the zipper to fit your project.  It's $8.79 per spool.  I've ordered fabric from these guys over the internet and been happy happy happy!

BTW:  doxieart - your hoodie is pretty and really brings out the blue in your eyes. (har de har har)

um, this might be a silly question, but are there any good sites out there on "hiding seams"  I"m not sure what exactly this means, or what you use to do it.
