\"\"<\/p>\n

Hello! Summer is in full swing around here, and I’m getting back into sewing mode. I know that this hooded jacket (windbreaker? hoodie?) doesn’t look too summery but it’s perfect for the cool mornings. I had just enough olive\/khaki twill for this, and I love it.<\/p>\n

I started off with this PatternCouture zip-up hoodie pattern from etsy<\/a><\/strong>, and cut out the large. Then I futzed with it and made quite a few modifications. First, I sewed a wearable muslin out of knit scraps I had on hand:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That two-toned hood looks intentional, right? Nope. I ran out of fabric.<\/p>\n

Then I lengthened the torso, shortened the arms, modified the front neckline to dip a little lower and to accommodate the separating zippers I had in my stash and made this black ever-s0-practical knit hoodie:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then I eliminated the cuffs for the twill version:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s very reminiscent of the Merchant and Mills Landgate Jacket that I made back in 2021<\/a><\/strong>. I still wear that all the time, but every time I pull it on and off, I wish it was a zip up — hence this twill jacket. It’s a good one. I enjoyed that it\u00a0was a fairly easy project, and by the third hoodie, I wasn’t intimidated by the separating zipper at all.<\/p>\n

And then there is this summer tiered dress that I designed and taught as a Creativebug class<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The class launches today!! Check it out here<\/strong><\/a> along with all of my other Creativebug classes here<\/strong><\/a>. Creativebug is always having amazing subscription deals and it’s SO worth it if you’re not signed up already!<\/p>\n

As for the dress, what’s not to love? Simple to draft and make, effortless to wear, POCKETS. Need I say more? This is hands down my favorite summer outfit. In fact, I might have to stitch up another in that olive\/khaki color which I’m obsessed with…<\/p>\n

Alright, my friends. I will be back again soon to share loads of book news. Very, very exciting!<\/p>\n
