Lil Blue Boo Hoodie

DSC_0172

I love this hoodie pattern from Lil Blue Boo!  It was one of the first patterns I used when I was venturing into sewing with knits.  See my previous post HERE.  Ashley gives some nice tips for sewing with knits.  Now that I have my awesome serger, it is even more fun!

The pattern is really straight forward and is great for boys or girls.  You could even add some length and make it into a dress like Christine at From an Igloo did HERE.

It was definitely funny trying to have a photo session with two three year old very active boys.  A bit different from my girls who love to model.  So here goes…

I added an appliqued paw print to go with the doggie fabric.  The boys really like it.  They think that it’s one of Blue’s Clues!

I lined the hoods because the wrong side of the doggie print fabric was white and I didn’t want that showing when their hoods were off.

Here they are in their set from a couple of years ago.  I miss them being this little.  Sniffle Sniffle.

  1. I just bought that pattern. After seeing yours, I can't wait to whip one up. Your boys are adorable and I'm sad to say, the older mine get, the less cooperative they become. I'm in the market for a nice standing dummy.
