Our first project, after learning about and completing some various pattern alterations, was to sew a hooded sweatshirt for ourselves. I was so excited from the moment I heard about this project, which probably says something about how I typically dress :) I searched everywhere for the perfect sweatshirt fabric material with matching ribbing. It proved to be much more difficult than I originally expected! After about a week of online and in store research, I concluded that JoAnns would probably be my best bet, and so I purchased a navy blue piece of fabric and got started. I also selected a fun polka-dot print to go on the inside of the hood.
I think the thing that made this project most worthwhile for me was the fact that I was able to fit it to my size exactly.the only thing I would change for next time is just that I would try and select a thinner more pliable fabric, as this one is rather stiff and doesn't look as good on. More pictures to follow once my nice camera is working again.
