Two Hatteras Hoodies and a Hideaway Hoodie

Today I am over on Project Run and Play sharing how to sew on the leather elbow patches you’ll see with these shirts. Click HERE to see the tutorial. Doing a guest post is always a good reason to buy some new patterns you’ve been wanting for a while, am I right? Enter the Hatteras Hoodie and the Hideaway Hoodie.

First up, the Hatteras Hoodie, sans hoodie. This is view B and I love love love it. I want to make her like 5 more. I followed the instructions to lower the front of the shirt (though I do love that design element of the pattern) so she could wear it without a shirt underneath. I made size 3 for her so that it will fit her next winter. She’s on the small side for a two year old but turns 3 in a couple months.

And here’s those quilted heart elbow patches that are so cute.

I love the seams that end up on the front rather than under the arms.

Taking cues from older sister as I take her pics.

While we are on the Hatteras Hoodie, here is View A. He just turned 11 a month ago, and this is size 12. It is a slim fitting design and Adrianna suggests sizing up if you want a looser fit.

He wore it to school the first chance he had, which is always a great sign. My oldest son won’t wear anything I sew anymore, so it’s nice to sew for this kiddo and have him appreciate it still.

And finally, here is the Hideaway Hoodie. I adore the crossover hood portion on the front, and that pocket! I love the little peak of color you see from the pocket, in a size 8. She turns 8 in September, so again, I would like this to fit next winter.

The hood portion is huge, but I actually really like the over sized hood. I think the sleeves and cuffs are too long. I even cut off 1.5″ and they are still so long. I do love the thumb holes though. I would decrease the width of the cuffs so they fit tighter, as well as cut off some length on the sleeves and cuffs.
