Did you ever see a bolt of fabric and just know what it was meant to be? When I saw this flannel I just knew it was supposed to be the rockin-est, rollin-est, baddest-ass hoodie ever.
And boy did it deliver. I prepared a tutorial, but having the correct pieces is pretty crucial to this project so I am just going to have to make a pattern.
I have never made a pdf file pattern before, I'm a little nervous, but heck, what do I have to lose? The millions I make from this blog? HA!
My own skull stamped fabric. I love it so much! I think my model likes it too :-)
I should mention, my model is our neighbor. His father is the creator of Sandbox Threads, the coolest tee shirt company EVER. So this kid is uber cool. I had to make a hoodie cool enough for a kid who wears John Mcenroe tee and KNOWS who John Mcenroe is! Thanks for the inspiration Ben!

ReplyDeleteThank you Jonie! You always leave the sweetest comments.
Deletelove this!!! You do such awesome cool boy stuff. Seriously, you just know what kids that age like!!!
ReplyDeleteDying to make this! Clever lady!
ReplyDeleteAwesome sweatshirt! I love seeing great boy stuff! I totally know what you mean about all the pieces being perfect, I am working on a jacket pattern with a hood and there are just so many little details that have to line up. Have fun making the pattern! They are addicting once you get started :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am nervous about the pattern thing but I thought I'd give it a try...we'll see!
DeleteI want to make one for my little girl! I've always loved skulls in girl colors. It would be so cute! Love it!
ReplyDeleteMy girls want one too...with pink plaid and pink skulls of course!
DeleteI made that same flanel into a dress =) I love it! Great hoodie!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see the dress!
Deleteawesome hoodie - I love hoodies on my boys. I noticed you left the zipper exposed on the inside... I'm making a hooded jacket and think I might do the same thing. It is comforting to see that yours looks awesome. Zippers and I have a hate/hate relationship ;o)
ReplyDeleteI thought about hiding the zipper but honestly I just didn't want to mess with it . I think it was the right call...it saved me time and it doesn't look half bad :-)
DeleteI'm featuring this tomorrow on Make It Wear It!
ReplyDeleteThank you Andrea!
DeleteThis looks really great. I especially like the skull stamped lining. Checked out your neighbor's site - there's some pretty funny stuff!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I'd love to make one for my girls (they don't have to know it was originally intended as a boy pattern).
ReplyDeletethat material screams "Cool Boy Hoodie." Great job!!!
