This is also the first time I have sewn for myself for many years, although I have done lots of other projects. I have enjoyed making this pattern and mastering stretch fabrics. The cardi has come together beautifully, although I did find the instructions for making it up weren’t very clear. By contacting Style Arc via text, they were very helpful.
I’m not sure what I think about the hood, but I decided to make the pattern as it was.
I opted for the printed version of the pattern, as opposed to the PDF version. It is great to have that choice.
I have 2 more patterns coming, a top and a dress, so I’m looking forward to making them up.

My first make after 20 years of not sewing and it was so easy and has turned out beautiful. I used double ponte Roma Which is very stable but still gives for comfort. I didn’t like the hood too much so next time I will leave that off. I’ve faced the hood and added two buttons to the front. I also cut the front slightly wider so it would hang loose. It’s perfect

It comes together beautifully. I did a lot of stitching, as in top stitching and stitching in the ditch(US expression for stitching on seam line after the seam has been stitched) but this was more to address the issue of my fabric choice rather than anything else. The pattern saved me because my fabric choice was a dead stock sweater knit with a loose weave which in hind sight, I should have whipped stitched by hand rather than use a machine zigzag. However, the pattern saved me because it has relatively few pieces, they go together easily, so I only had to battle the knitted loops of the fabric, not the pattern. The top stitching and ditch stitching gave this hoodie a wonderful, professional look.
As soon as I was ready to attach band, outside hood and inside hood, I stopped and thought because sometimes I have to think about my pieces and how they would have to assemble rather than at the picture and description. At that point, going from two to three dimensions, it was easy to see that I would need to make a ‘sandwich’ of the three pieces, turn the facing hood to the inside and rotate to shoulder seam. I don’t mean to make this sound difficult because it is not. It’s just I need to think with my head and hands sometimes rather than what I read or see.
My recommendation is that this is a great, easy pattern that assembles well. It can be made in a fairly heavy knit, but next time, I’m not going to wrestle with my knit and I shall opt for a more stable knit fabric.

How Do I Know What Size I Am?
Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.
When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight, as this will give you the incorrect size.
When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:
A. Shoulder Breadth
Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.
B. Upper Arm Girth
This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.
C. Bust
This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.
D. Waist
This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.
E. Hip
This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
