Beautiful nameled snap fastenersI've washed my hands of summer sewing maybe a month ago.  supreme box logo hoodie big cartelI am really loving the latest issue of Ottobre for women--5/2015 aka the Autumn/Winter issue.  illest sweatshirt for saleThere are just so many really functional patterns in here. assassin's creed hoodie amazon ezioI've nearly decided to make them all, but I'm easily distracted by all of the shiny new patterns that keep popping up.  wavves hoodiesI made pattern #15, the long sleeved hooded sweatshirt.  I was a tad bit lazy here on sizing.  I had it in my head that Ottobre is equivalent to Burda.  After 2/3 of the way through sewing I realized it's a touch smaller in the hip.  

I cut my regular Burda size of a 42 bust and 4 the Ottobre size chart the Burda size chart my Ottobre coat last winter Even though the hip runs a tad small, this hoodie really is just fine I do think so.  I wore it some this Labor Day weekend while camping.  I was surprised by the overall length of it and the sleeve length.  I added 1" (2.5 cm) to my traced out paper pattern to the hems considering I'm a couple inches taller then then what they design for.  I had to remove the extra length!! And look how long the sleeves are still.  The magazine refers to the sleeve style as "saddle sleeves" and I am confessing here that I've not ever heard of this sort of sleeve... it's basically a fancy version of a raglan sleeve. Boy, I had trouble making any decorative stitch happen with my sewing machine on this stuff because it's so thick and tightly woven.  I ended up with a zig zag on the hem along with the saddle sleeve seams and top of the hood.  I used my serger for all my seams and wooly nylon for my thread.

I seem to be collecting Jalie patterns and sewing from them only sporadically.  I hope to change that!  Here is Jalie 3355, it is a Sweatshirt/hoodie and sweatpants pattern. I made K view B - the Hoodie. Size: Width of P and Height of M. This coordinates with most of her measurements.  Her chest is 2" smaller than the pattern states but sweatshirts are supposed to be roomy. Fabric: 1.5 yards white dots on black sweatshirt knit fabric from purple seamstress, purchased for $15 total in November 2014.  Purple in lining is a tiny piece of lovely Cotton Lycra also from purple seamstress, purchased at the same time. Instructions: I love Jalie instructions.  They are printed on the pattern paper, but you can also print them off from the website. I always do this to have them handy.  I love that they have pictures for pretty much each step along with the written directions - I'm a visual person. Sadly I somehow missed the Kangaroo pocket steps because they are at the bottom of the page that talks about sewing techniques to use.

I usually skip that page. I attached it after I had sewn the sleeves on and sides together. It was a bit cramped but I got it.  Also, The instructions state to fold top and sides to the wrong side but do not say by how much.  I winged it and just did 1/2".   The rest of the instructions were spot on.  I had no issues, until I sewed the hood.  The pattern asks for sweatshirt fabric with 10% stretch, mine had none.  I'm not sure if this was the issue or not but there was no way that hood was getting over K's head. I didn't have any more of the dot fabric left to cut a new, larger hood.  So K and I agreed that we would use the ribbing fabric for the hood. Now it fits perfect. She also wanted it lined in purple.  I will have the hood lining pictures near the bottom of this post if anyone is interested.  It is pretty simple to line a hood :) Plus I do not enjoy seeing the seam if left unlined. In addition to changing the hood to a stretchy fabric, I had to shave 1/2" off the neckline of the bodice for K's head to fit through.  

It fits her very nicely. I made purple Ottobre 01/2009 #29 "Saija" Sweatpants to go with the sweatshirt since the hood lining was purple.  While I was at it I sewed up a gray pair too.  Both are of Cotton Velour.  Fuzzy pants are always welcome in the winter.  Since I've sewn this Ottobre pattern seven times now, I'll spare you the review :P  But here they are and they will be much loved. Fabric: Purple: Juicy Amethyst Cotton Velour, 1 yard, $9 from Nature's Fabrics Dec 2014. Gray: Juicy Charcoal Heather Cotton Velour, 1 yard, $9 from Nature's Fabrics Dec 2014. K took off to read a new book in her sweat set.  So they must be a hit! cut 1 of hood, cut 1 of lining. I took 1" off lining on straight edge at front so it would turn nicely to the inside when topstitching. Sew curved sides of each, separately.  Then put R sides together of hood and lining and sew them together on the long straight edges that make the front (not the bottom). Turn them R side out and stuff lining into hood.
