Super easy hoodie & sweatshirt pattern for beginners - which can also be lengthened to a dress.

This PDF sewing pattern can be be used to sew up a warm winter knit hoodie or a light cotton weave sweatshirt for summer fashion. Full length or cropped this pattern is extremely versatile.

Unleash your creative and make your hoodie or sweatshirt unique by embellishing it, or use fabric a little "out of the ordinary".   The full bishop sleeve is purposefully designed to contrast in a lighter weight fabric which will better gather at the wrist.  Ideas for embellishing are on our Pinterest Page. Our grey hoodie has been embellished with an old crochet table cloth bought from a second hand shop and we love it. We have also sewn samples from crushed velvet and an old cotton sheet (fantastic for summer).

PATTERN FEATURES:

  • Hoodie or sweatshirt
  • Standard sleeve or full sleeve in contrasting fabric
  • Raglan sleeves for easy fit
  • Wide waistband for drape, shape and durability
  • Versatile fabric options - heavy weight sweatshirting for winter or light weight cottons, chiffons, rayons or even silks for summer
  • Full length or cropped 
  • Hoodie can be lined with contrasting fabric
  • Easily embellished (see this tutorial for inspiration)
  • Sizes NZ/AU 6-24 | US 2-20 (purchased in size bundles of 4)-refer purchasing options

FABRIC

Please refer to the FABRIC REQUIREMENT CHART as one of the last images on this product listing. You can magnify this image if viewing it on a mobile phone whilst in a fabric store.

BODICE: We recommend that the bodice is sewn from a sweatshirt weight fabric (approx 300gms) - eg (mid-weight brushed or non brushed cotton sweatshirting). You may also use other mid weight knits.

SLEEVES: You can sew the standard sleeve in the same fabric as the bodice or choose to contrast it with a light weight woven fabric (like chiffon, rayon, cotton, tencel or blends). We recommend that the full bishop sleeve is sewn in a lighter weight woven to allow for gathering at the wrist into the wristband. The full sleeve was specifically designed to contrast in a lighter weight fabric.

CUFFS, NECK & WAISTBANDS we recommend are sewn in ribbing or a cotton with elastane to allow stretch over your wrist and head. If your bodice fabric has stretch and good memory (a lycra/cotton blend) then you can also use that.

WINTER WEIGHT:  
Heavy knits like brushed or unbrushed cotton*, merino wool and wool mixes (for a winter hoody) or other mid weight knits.
Our grey sample is made up in cotton sweat shirting and embellished with a second-hand crochet table cloth, the knit hoody was sewn from a polyester/acrylic knit.

SUMMER WEIGHT:
You may like to use a cotton or lightweight fabric to make a summer style hoody. This looks good cropped at the waist with a drawstring gather. Cotton, linens and cotton/polyester/rayon mixes are great for this but note that you might like to choose a larger pattern size than normal as woven fabrics do not stretch.

Notes for woven fabric:

If you are planning to make the hoodie in a summer weight fabric (like woven cotton) then you need to be mindful that a woven fabric does not stretch. There ware 2 ways to address this:
(a) you can cut out your bodice pieces slightly larger, by adding 1cm (3/8") more to the center front and center back or,
(b) use a pattern one size bigger than you normally would, and adjust the sleeve and body length to fit when hemming.

*Please also note that all (new) fabric should be pre-washed in case of shrinkage. Some fabrics will not shrink but 100% cotton, linen and rayon are almost guaranteed to shrink. It doesn't hurt to be safe and remove any dodgy chemical build up that may have occurred during printing anyway.

DIFFICULTY

Suitable for Beginners. This hoodie or sweater is able to be sewn with or without an overlocker (serger).

    Great Pattern with Comfy Fit

    I love this pattern! I’m working on my second top with this pattern. I have tweaked this pattern for the second one to have curved lower edges and no waistband - as another option for layering. I love the clear directions!

    much needed inspiration - sorted!

    I had been looking for a project to take me out of the February dodrums and found this via Clothspots Instagram photo! Really good pattern and easy to make, just needed to choose the correct fabrics and change the sleeves to loose fitting. See attached photo! Really helped my confidence and raised my spirits!

    Hood up & set to go!

    Loved this pattern. Everything went together so well as is always the case with TSR patterns. The fabric choices & stories on the site inspired me to get creative with sleeves, cuffs and hood linings - so a scrap-buster too. Love that it’s not a bulky design and can be worn in different ways. True to size (12). Only hitch was that my overlocker choked a bit on the hood front where it crosses over. I should have followed the TSR instructions on sewing it with a stretch stitch and then finishing afterwards. Here’s to next time!

    Awesome as always

    Great pattern, LOVE the result. Particularly the variation on the sleeve. A very cool raglan with a bishop sleeve combine classics to make an ultra modern staple.

    Great design - Quick, easy sew.

    I purchased this pattern in lockdown to use up some fabric from my stash. Perfect, quick easy pattern. I made the basic sweatshirt but I will definitely use it again for the hoodie with the additional wider sleeve design. I have used a number of The Sewing Revival patterns and all have been great designs that fit well.

    Great patterns, easy to use.

    I found the patterns easy to use, and adjust to size. I'm make samples first and taking notes on my modifications. ( first time in a lifetime of sewing) I just want to make simple things that fit nicely. Love your patterns. Thank you.

    Nice modern sweatshirt

    Really pleased with the sweatshirt I made in French Terry. It has a nice boxy feel. I did shorten the sleeves a bit as seemed very long and a shame as I was stripe matching to my ribbing! I’ll definitely make again and will have a go at the hoody. I suspect this will be a well used pattern.

    Excellent patterns!

    I have started sewing again after quite a long break! I have tried a few of these patterns and they are great, easy to follow and fit really well. The variations mean I will definitely sew multiples - so glad I found The Sewing Revival!

    Just what I was looking for

    I had some soft french terry that I wanted to make a slouchy, oversized hoodie for autumn/winter out of, and needed the perfect pattern to make that happen. This fit the bill 100% I just love how it fits, and how it feels. This is my first sewing revival pattern but it certainly wont be my last

    Versatile patterns, worth every cent!

    I have the Rosella Top, Hummingbird Hoody and have just printed the pants pattern off. I have made 4 of the Rosella tops, they are all different, one with a band on the bottom, a long one, and 2 shorter. It is a great pattern. I have made two hoodies. They are versatile patterns and fit perfect first time. This weekend I will be trying the pants pattern, with fabric I got from Jellicoe last night in their sale.

    Personalised hoody

    I found it an easy pattern to make up. I really enjoyed using different fabric for the hood and lining, which makes it unique to me.It fitted well and looks great.
