  • Can you believe that one FREE downloadable pattern can give you SO MANY LOOKS? Using the Boxwood Hoodie pattern from Mood Fabrics, I made half a dozen different looks to incorporate into my wardrobe. This pattern is pretty beginner friendly, which means these adaptations are also good for the new sewists out there. Making your own clothes is so rewarding, and it can be frustrating for newbies to have to wait for their skills to catch up with their to-do lists.
    Give this a try and tell me what your favorite pattern changes are!

    How cool, and very creative! I haven't sewn anything in a long time. I've sewn 2 and 2 halves of projects since I was 13. Lol! And, now I'm 57. Maybe I should try again. Oh, wait! I forgot about a Christmas stocking I made when I worked at a fabric store in high school. I should break out my sewing machine, and see if I can something. Thanks for the inspo.😊

    The the close out. ‘I gather fabric’. 😂
    For me I would say
    I hoard…
    I can’t let a bargain get away…..
    I must save this fabric…..
    oh I can see sew many projects for this fabric…..
    But I do love fabric ❤

      I'm glad you liked the style. I wasn't sure how it would be received but I didn't want to take a lot of time on construction when it wasn't really the point. I can't wait to try even more variations and see what I can create!

    My favorite was the pins on the towel hoodie
    I have the Boxwood printed out. I tried it about a year ago. Messed it up. I've been planning on trying again at some point. Love Mood patterns.

    • @KatieMakesStuff
      @KatieMakesStuff  Před 3 měsíci

      I think almost every piece had at least one pin hidden in it somewhere! 🤣🤣 I feel like that's just how most of my things are assembled at this point: hopes and dreams they stay together!

      @@KatieMakesStuff Can't resist this story-Pins are always hidden. My sister and her college boyfriend (now husband) were talking marriage,not even engaged yet, so they went to his parents for Christmas. She made him a quilt. First thing he did was wrap it around himself, snuggle down, and get stabbed. She left the pins in. His father laughed so hard. His mother sewed and as he put it, he had spent the last 25+ years (at the time) checking for pins everywhere.

    I’m just about to make this hoodie, so it was great to see all the hacks you’ve made. So the standard length hits at high hip? I’ll probably add length and a hemband. Thanks! Xx

      @KatieMakesStuff  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Yes, it hits right above the widest point of my hips. I'm 5'8" have a long-ish torso so it may be longer for others. I hope it goes well!! Let me know what you think!

    Not my fav. bit still cute. I just don"t like the gaping neckiline on on the cream and black stipe tanktop. The green bottons on the quilt vest, I would make white and the pockets that go over the boobs seems uncomfortable to get hands in. And I would lenghten all of them tojust below my hip. It's just personal preference, not critique on your style. 😊The last few are all stunning and I love the bias tape use. Also I'm old school and I don't wear hoods at all. Thank you for the motivation to do something difference😉😉😉

      I think knowing what you don't particularly like is just as important as knowing what you do like. And hopefully if you try this pattern you find ways to make it work for you!! I completely agree with the neck of the tank top. I thought about pleating it but wanted to wear it a few times before making that decision.
