Might steal for myself

Bought the pattern impulsively while drunk, then found this amazing double sided fabric from The New Craft House and came up with a plan.

The instructions and diagrams aren’t great, but the accompanying video does help.
I like the big pockets and wide bands at the cuffs and waist.  The hood isn’t huge, and he likes them assassins creed-esque.  I was able to make it slightly bigger by narrowing the channel for the ties, but next time I think I would redraft the hood pattern piece to enlarge it.

The method for enclosing the zip and ends of the waistband is neat and I didn’t have problems with sewing through multiple layers of the jersey (which has a slight bit of filling to make it really warm) as long as I jumped the lumps with my trusty folded up bit of cardboard.  I made this over a weekend, so didn’t take long.

I do have a ‘big four’ hoodie pattern but I like this one better because you can choose a length.  The size range isn’t great, maximum chest is 114cm which I think would be too small for a lot of people.

Overall I’m really please with the finished result and slightly annoyed that it looks so good on him that I can’t legitimately steal it.
