Maegen, from Foster Ramblings, is here to give you her “Flipped Creation”
************************************************************************
I am really thrilled to be a part of this competition! I love the Hangout Hoodie pattern, and it has truly been a pleasure to flip. I actually changed my mind at the last minute, so this is not my original flip. I created the Hangout Hunting Vest when I finally came out of denial two days before Halloween– there was no way Mack was going to wear his little Hobbit costume, so what could I make for him in a short amount of time? My husband Nathan loves to hunt, and we just happened to have a little pop gun rifle, so a-hunting Mack would go!
Back when I first told Nathan about the competition and the pattern he suggested that I make a vest. I wasn’t sure how I felt about the vest idea so I went with something completely different. And in the end, I ended up loving this little vest so much more than the cardigan I had made.
I used one of Nathan’s too-small hunting shirts for the outer fabric. Because the fabric is sturdy and has no stretch at all, I cut out the 4t– two sizes bigger than Mack usually wears. The vest is lined with fleece, and has a layer of batting in the middle for an extra bit of warmth.
What I flipped:
– discarded the sleeve and hoodie pattern pieces
– split the front piece down the middle and added an extra inch to each side
-created a collar piece
-lined the entire garment in such a way that it is reversible
Mack really loves his vest. In fact, Mack loves to wear every version of the Hangout Hoodie I have made thus far (this is saying a lot, because he is picky about what he wears).
If you stop by my blog today, I’m sharing the tiny Hangout Hunting Vest I made for our other little guy.
Thanks so much Ashley and Emily for having me!
