loops + leaves hoodie

who doesn't love a hoodie?  here's one i made from an 1980s kwik sew pattern with thrifted knit fabric.  this pattern is great. the cropped length and fitted waist make for a less sloppy sweatshirt.  and the hood is a good size, too.  i opted for a loop and button front closure instead of the exposed zipper.  for this i had to draft a front facing, since the pattern didn't include one (see last photo).  the fit is great and it's quite comfy...  now i just need to find a good pair of high-waisted jeans so i can wear it.

  3. thanks, jillian! i was a tad worried that the loops wound work right with the hood, but they're great, buttoned or unbuttoned. :-)
