I watched this video for guidance on the kangaroo pocket... I'm making up a vintage 80s hoodie pattern using a high elastane content cotton mix for a lounge top. I really like your videos and the way you share your knowledge. Thank you!!
I would like to make the hoodie lighter for summer wear, what fabric can I use to make the hoodie more summer friendly? (I live in 80-90 degree Fahrenheit weather)
Hi! Sure, here's what you can do : 1) pick your size, nothing fancy here, 2) when cutting your paper pattern, just for the neckhole and the hood, choose a bigger size (the measurements of the neckhole and hood correspond) 3) for the pocket, you can take one from a bigger size, or trace it bigger yourself.
I just made this hoodie in 2 sizes larger than my usual size, its exactly what i wanted and its so comfy! Thank you Isa for the video tutorial
That's great news, I'm so glad!!! Thanks for letting me know
Really great tutorial 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Great tutorial, thank you. I’m going to try to make something like this in wool fabric recycled from old wool shirts. Wish me luck!
This is a wonderful idea, makes me want to try!
@@isainstitches I’ll let you know how it turns out :)

Glad I could help!! This sounds like a fun and comfy project! Are you happy with the result? Did you find a vintage pattern for it?
🙏 amen
Hi Isa! Great video - thank you!
I thought of sewing the hoodie without the sleeves. Any ideas on how to have a nice seam?
Hi! Sure! Invisible bias binding (French method) will be the best method I believe!
Hey, your hoodie fits you verry well. What size are you wearing usually and which size are you sewing in the video?
Yes, good question! I'm an XS for bust and waist these days, but I have larger shoulders than a regular XS so I took an S (EU 36)
Could I use this pattern for the body and combine it with your Comfort Hood Balaclava Hat pattern?
Absolutely!

Hi! Take a light sweatshirt fabric (be aware that the final look will be a bit slouchy with a thinner fabric)
hi ! i want to make it a big boxer and make the pocket/hood bigger, how should i do that ??
