Homebody Hoodie

We designed the Homebody Hoodie to complement the Homebody Joggers but also to wear with all your handmade makes as a hard working piece in your everyday wardrobe.

The Hoodie is fitted at the chest and contoured to provide a little extra room at the waist and hips.

We’re sharing inspiration to make it your way. Why not mix and match different colours to create a colour-block effect or add a cosy fleece or fur hood lining for extra snuggle-factor. Change up look by swapping out the hem band for a pre-made rib instead.

We recommend a stable stretch fabric with approx. 20-50% stretch for this pattern. Suitable fabrics include: Sweatshirt, ponte roma, fleece, velour, quilted jersey and French terry. An elastane mix fabric will prevent your hoodie from going baggy during wear.

You can add your own special finishing touches by picking out a coordinating or contrasting jersey fabric for the hood lining.

If you’re new to sewing with stretch fabrics, you’ll find working with a combo of stable knits and lighter weight jersey in this project will boost your confidence.

Suggested Fabrics:

Medium to Heavyweight stable stretch knits including sweater knits, french terry, velour

For Hood lining: light to medium weight stable stretch fabrics including single cotton elastane jersey, ponti roma

Fabric 150cm / 60" wide:

For main body 175cm

For the hood lining and pocket bags 50cm

The Homebody Hoodie can be made in Sizes XS – XXL.

It is vitally important, when sewing your own clothes, to take accurate measurements of your body, and not rely on the sizing you expect to buy on the high street. For this pattern we have opted to use sizing XS – XXL, which approximately covers UK sizes 8 – 24. Measure yourself first to choose the right size for you!
