Does anyone know where to order patterns for tall hoodies? Im sick of buying sweatshirts just to cut them up. If i could just buy the material and use a pattern it would be way cheaper.
This will only work as well if you dont want a zip up hoody
or, you can use one of your own hoodies that you like the fit but not the length of as a pattern. fold the facric over itself and then cut the pattern of the sweatshirt (sleeveless and hood-less), and add length on the bottom, as much as you like. leave an inch extra on both sides and the top to sew as well. for sleeves, fold the fabric over and place the top of the sleeve along the fold line of the hoody. cut around the sleeve leaving about an inch extra on the bottom to sew. this should give you one piece of fabric which you can sew together forming a cone slash sleeve shape. obviously do that twice. for the hood, i recommend laying the hoody out on its side then duplicating the pattern of the hood twice. then cut a 4 by about 12 or 14 inch piece of fabric for the middle part of the hood. assemble all the parts and there ya go.
im sure i missed something or other in there, let me know if you got any more questions
