Your new favorite sewing pattern for nursing and beyond! This breastfeeding friendly PDF pattern is loaded with style options and comes with detailed step-by-step instructions to help you sew your own nursing hoodie. Pair it with the Crossover Add-On for even more possibilities. Check out our other nursing patterns here.
DESCRIPTION– The Simple Hoodie is a semi-fitted style pattern intended for stable knit fabrics. Includes a lift up nursing option with a hidden banded opening underneath and a standard non-nursing option as well! It comes in 3 banded lengths: top, tunic, and above knee-length dress. Optional kangaroo pocket adds functionality. This pattern can be sewn on a sewing machine or a serger, but does require a sewing machine and/or coverstitch machine for hemming and topstitching. Watch the video tutorial for thumbhole cuffs here.
SIZING– The pattern comes in sizes 2-30. For the best fit, take current measurements and compare against the size chart. If in between sizes, size up for room to wear over layers. Includes 3 different height files. Petite for 5’1″ to 5’3″, Regular for 5’4″ to 5’6″, Tall for 5’7″ to 5’9″.
FABRIC– Requires approximately 1 1/2 to 3 yards. You will need a stable knit with at least 40% horizontal 25% vertical stretch for the main garment. The bands and cuff require at least 50% horizontal stretch.
**This pattern is best suited for thicker Cotton Lycra French Terry, Sweatshirt Fleece and heavier Sweater Knits. DBP, Rib Knit, or Cotton Lycra work well for the bands and cuffs. **
FILES– You will be able to download the printable sewing pattern and instructions you can then print at home on US letter 8.5×11” or A4 paper (you will not receive a physical copy of the pattern). This also includes a Projector file and an A0 Printshop file. You will need a PDF viewer (the free version of Adobe is recommended).
You may sell items made from this pattern, but you may not distribute the pattern (please respect my hours of work and refer your friends and family to purchase this listing). I also ask that you do not use my images.
