Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Sewing With Knits: 5 Wardrobe Essentials »

Instructions

The video and Meg were excellent.

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Women


Materials

stretch cotton

What was your inspiration?

The videos were really helpful. I have tried to sew with knits before and never did well. This is the first garment/knit that I completely finished.

What are you most proud of?

That I have finally sewn something that I would consider a wardrobe "staple". I live in knits, yoga pants, hoodies, or jeans. I thrilled that I can actually sew something that I will wear often!!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Have patience with a pdf pattern. Cutting out the pattern is the most tedious part of any sewing project for me. PDFs in particular can make me crazy. I'd like to find a way to copy them whole.

you know if you took the pattern to a printer - they may have a way to "make it whole for you. I do wish that they had more options for printing out the pattern. I'm not a big fan of digital patterns. But I'm glad you persevered and your hoodie looks great.

Very nice! Did you use fleece? If so, where did you find stretch fleece?
