Oh Boy… Fleece Hoodie
Well, well, well... I took a class: Craftsy’s Sewing with Knits with Meg McElwee... She is nice and has such a calming voice and smile, inspiring a totally zen attitude towards sewing with knits without a serger, especially in an anxiety prone person like yours truly.
I’ve learned so many things I can’t even count, just from watching. I did not follow along with the projects. I prefer to watch te classes, maybe take notes… and then use the knowledge I gained to do my own projects … something that I use, like, want or want to gift. And so I did. I took the first project which was a woman’s hoodie and I transformed it into one for a four years old boy (my nephew)… well it came out more like for a six years old but he’ll groooooow into it ;). I aded an appliqué front pocket with a zipper closure (a secrets/treasures pocket every small boy's garment should have) inspired by Simone Legno’s design for the Bastardino character.

Overall I’m pretty pleased with it … The colour combination turned out not as happy as I would have wanted it to be, maybe because for the appliqué I used the only pieces of fabrics without floral prints that I had in my studio, and seemed at the moment suitable for a boy, and the fleece I could find in store was unfortunately either this green or dark brown or black.
What do you think?
And by the way... this is my first garment ever :) .
