Designer's Challenge - Fishsticks Designs

It's my turn to reveal my Designer's Challenge pattern -- meet the Hide 'n Go Seek Hoodie! The challenge put out to the participating designers was to really strive to design something new and unique. I have had the idea for this pattern floating around in my head for quite some time, and this was just the push I needed to actually bring it to life!


 


Many of my faithful followers have asked for a zip-up hoodie pattern, and since outerwear is one of my favorite things to sew, I knew I needed to add one to my collection. My first goal was to make the hoodie reversible to give you two looks in one. Outerwear tends to get more wear than other clothing between washings, and it's so nice to be able to flip this hoodie inside out to reveal new fabrics.





I also loved the idea of mixing cotton woven fabrics with knit fabrics to give you the fit and look of a traditional hoodie with the myriad of print options that are available in your favorite quilting collections.





That woven placket at the zipper has the added advantage of making it much easier to sew in the zipper, too!


 


Finally, I designed the pockets, placket and back panel with a modern curve.





The lower panel on the back is a perfect spot to feature a fussy-cut fabric, too. (This one makes me smile every time I see it!)


 


This pattern covers sizes 12 months to 14. Other features include fold-up cuffs for extra growing room and the option of the elasticized or standard hood. I hope this one becomes a favorite for you and your little
ones!
