Jess, from If Only They Would Nap, is here to give you her “Flipped Creation”
************************************************************************
Hi friends! Jess from If Only They Would Nap here. I’m so excited to be here as part of the Flip This Pattern competition! I love a good think-outside-the-box challenge, and I had so much fun with this one! As soon as I saw the Hangout Hoodie pattern, I knew that it would be perfect to flip into a ….
…hangout hoodie robe!
I kept with the basic shape of the Hangout Hoodie (which can be sewn as either a dress or a shirt), but made some modifications to use woven materials instead of knits.
Since my fabrics have no stretch, I went up two sizes from what my son would normally wear. I used the dress pattern, but then shortened it back down to the size six. The front piece is normally cut on the fold. I instead extended those pieces a couple inches and cut them separately, creating those fabulous lapels in the front.
I also added long flannel cuffs, a belt, and belt loops on each side.
The robe is fully lined (with this super amazing fabric from A Walk in the Woods for Moda by Aneela Hooey – purchased from HB Fabrics). With the exception of the belt loops, which I didn’t put on the inside, the robe is fully reversible. No exposed seams! (Shirt can be found here)
The flannel on the outside makes it super warm and cozy – perfect for our loooooong Wisconsin winters.
I love that it’s comfortable for jumping and playing, and yet so cozy for relaxing. What more could a little boy want? (pants from this costume)
Thanks for having me, Ashley and Emily! I had so much fun flipping this pattern. My other boys have each requested their own now too.
