Blanket Hoodie – PDF Sewing Pattern

Is it cold and dreary outside your window? Time to make yourself a big, ole, cosy hibernation outfit.

This huge oversized hoodie is made from super comfy polar fleece with a super scrumptious sherpa fleece lining. Or maybe you’ll make it with polar fleece for the lining too, to make it a much easier sew. There are so many adorable fleeces available now, who can resist?

The body of the hoodie measures 110cm (43”) from front neck to bottom hem and 100cm (39”) wide and will fit an adult up to a men’s 6XL size. There are instructions to reduce the body size to fit a tween or smaller adult if preferred.

This hoodie isn’t a very difficult pattern in itself, but using sherpa fleece can be very challenging for a beginner. For that reason, I recommend this pattern for a more confident sewer. You can purchase this pattern here via Etsy.

I am just smitten with this felt gingerbread house bag. This would make such a sweet special Christmas accessory for a kid. It’s a free pattern at Benzie Design, designed by Gracie from Hello Gracie Makes. It’s packed with adorable gingerbread house details, like swirls and stripes and scallops adoring the doors and windows.

And while all those details might seem like this would be a complicated pattern, it’s actually not. The bag itself is made from felt, which makes finishes edges unnecessary. (All of those scalloped edges are just cut from felt, no edge finishing required.) The strap is super simple, made from rope with knotted ends. And all those details are made with some basic hand embroidery stitches. Sparkle felt makes it extra cute.

The striped scallop roof is actually the top flap of the bag. A magnetic snap makes it a secure closure. The rope straps are attached through felt loops at the side of the bag.

They rate this project as an intermediate level, and it should take about 6 hours to make start to finish. That’s doable for a Saturday project or a couple of evenings. Full color photos step you through the entire process.

The project includes a shopping list for all of your supplies. They’ve got a shop so you can order all of them from Benzie if you like and get exactly the supplies used in the project. I noticed it includes a pair of scallop shears, which makes cutting all the scalloped edges for the roof and around the door a breeze.

Finished dimensions of the little felt gingerbread bag are approximately 6 ½” wide x 7 ½” tall. That’s the perfect size to hold a small book, a small toy, or a notepad and some cute pens.
