Girl's Sail Away Hoodie Pattern



My good friend Grethel has done it again! She designed a children's and teen's version of her Sail Away Hoodie (that I highlighted in this recent post). 

A was privileged to be pattern tester again, and I once again can attest to Grethel's thorough testing process. She made sure each size was tested by people with varied sewing abilities and tools. 

This pattern is truly an incredible deal. You not only get a tried and true, CUTE, pattern. But you get sizes 2-16Y all in one download! You can make these hoodies for every little girl you know! (And I don't make a dime for saying so--I just really believe it!)

You can find the downloadable pattern at a limited introductory price here:





This hoodie has so much going for it! It has pockets (and they are NOT complicated), it has a darling hood, and it can be made from pretty much any fabric that has some stretch to it: jersey knit, other knits, french terry, etc. 

My daughter has adored wearing hers!

Sail Away Hoodie Pattern


I am in love with this hoodie! It is soft and comfy, has pockets and a cute lined hood. And best of all, it was so straightforward to make! My good friend Grethel designed the pattern, and it is available at a special introductory price right now on Etsy.  


Downloaded patterns are THE way to go these days, folks. You can make the item over and over again in multiple sizes, and you always have a backup to re-print if part of the pattern gets damaged. I have come to prefer downloading my patterns WAY over the wispy thin patterns I learned to sew with.

Grethel had a team of testers with varying skill levels, sizes, and sewing machines try this pattern out before its release. I can attest to its ease of use and I love the finished product! Truly a year-round jacket!

This pattern gives you the option of using multiple fabrics to add fun contrast. I love how the striped cuffs and hood turned out with this one! 



I just did a contrasting light pink on the hood lining for this jacket.
