Burda Style For people who sew

Description

Okay, I LOVE this hoodie. It’s just so darn comfy and I’m super proud of it.
The hood was such a nuisance. I almost gave up on it. It took my three tries to get it right. But I stuck in there and it was sooooo worth it.

Material Notes

Pink polyester fleece, flannel for pocket trim & hood lining. I salvaged a zipper from an old graduation gown I found in the garage. The cuffs & waistband fabric was from the top of a dress from my grandma. It’s Stretchy & smocked, so I figured it’d be an okay stand-in for ribbed knit.

-Ben Gibbard for giving me some soothing music to listen to when I got super-stressed with the hood.

edit

the blue & white fabric lost it’s elasticity, so I replaced it with some old yellow double-knit fabric.
