alright...i'm planning on making my first hoodie before the ski season begins (haha so i got a ton of time). Anyways...for my first one i'm just gonna do a simple and plain zip up...of course it's not gonna be that unproportional but...

my pants this year r gonna be blue.

And where can i get patterns at? joanns? michaels? and if i wanna make them tall, would i just add like 1 foot to the patterns? or is it easier just to trace out a tall t?

sorry for all the questions...

a good way is to cut up an old hoodie so you got a front pattern, back, hood, arm, pocket etc. and yea you just add the length of how tall you want it and maybe some width to

do you think it would look better with white pockets and blue rim (whatever it's called...the outerside part)
