Make Your Own Blanket Hoodie, Just like a Oodie – Sewing Pattern

Basically, Oodie is a blanket that you can wear and it is made with thick fleece fabric to keep you warm during winter. The original Oodie comes in fun and funky designs.

You can however choose to make your blanket hoodie using plain blanket fabric or fleece. Personally, when making my own I prefer to use bright and funky designs. If I can not find the right fabric to sew I pick up discounted blankets from Dollar tree or similar.

Making your own Oodie or wearable blanket is a great way to customize the style and size of your Oodie, one issue I was having with wearing my original store-bought one , was the weight. I found them too heavy on my shoulders. So I was able to customize my own Oodie by using a lighter fleece, I also decided to remove the hood part as it was adding weight to my shoulders when using my wearable blanket for activities.

Here is a video tutorial we found for making your own Oodie or wearable blanket.

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.
