Stanton Hoodie Class Description and Supply List

​

Cashmerette Patterns designs patterns to fit women of all sizes and shapes – something you don’t often find in a hoodie pattern!  The pattern comes in sizes 0 – 32.  Cashmerette even provides a size calculator to help you choose the size(s) for your best fit and to simplify any pattern adjustments you choose to make.  Because this is a sweatshirt, you only need to make a few simple modifications once you select your base size, such as length adjustments.  The pattern has a pullover and zip up version.  For this class, I strongly recommend that you start with the pullover version.  I will not take class time to demonstrate the zipper installation.  You do not have to have a serger to make this sweatshirt, but if you have one, I recommend you bring it as well as your sewing machine.  For those of you who don’t have a serger, I will set one up in the classroom with a neutral-colored thread.

​

Bring your pattern and cutting tools to the first class session, including a ruler for layout, a non-permanent marking tool that will show on your material, such as a frixion pen, chalk and/or a disappearing marker, a measuring tape, pins, sharp scissors and a rotary cutter.  We will make any pattern modifications and cut out your hoodie in this first.   Time permitting, we will begin construction.  Be prepared to do some independent homework so we can finish this hoodie in the allotted time.
