Sewing for Kids

I made a sleeveless hoodie for my girls last Sunday. It was a request from my older girl as she is into hoodie now.

It's all about attitude when wearing one!

I followed the pattern from the Japanese sewing book:

knit hoodie with attached skirt

from this book " Simple girls and boys clothes"

Didn't sew the attached skirt since it will be more versatile. My 7 year old is wearing size 130 and my 2 year old is wearing size 100.  I thought the hood and the kangaroo pocket were slightly small.  But since it's from stretchy jersey knit, it's still okay.

My kids love their new hoodies. I've bind the arm hole, pocket hem and waist band with ribbed knit that has more stretch to it.

Little sis ran forward to be in the same pic as Big sis

she waves her hand enthusiastically

Big sis not interested to have her in...
see disappointed look on little sis face! poor girl!

It was easy to follow instruction, even if you don't understand japanese since the picture is quite self explanatory.

Don't she looks lovely in those hoodie?

I'm working on some more knit sewing so come back again, cause I'm Sew into Knit!
