The Sew and Tell Project

One of my favorite parts of sewing for my kids is adding the little details like colorblocking and pockets that they love to their outfits. Usually I need to hack a pattern to do that, but Amy over at Peek a Boo Pattern Shop has taken care of that for me now with the new Hideout Hoodie!

The Hideout Hoodie is a relaxed fit raglan with short or long sleeves and a hood or neckband which allow you to make a variety of looks from one pattern. More bang for your buck!

First I whipped up a size 7 for my almost 8 year old with red cotton/lycra french terry from the Peek a Boo Fabric shop. I paired it with black cotton lycra and a Ninja digital design from PAB. Even though there’s a lot of details, this was a fast sew.

My son absolutely loves his new shirt, but my favorite is the angled side detail. I added red trim to the top of my pocket, and I absolutely love the pop that the gray and white yarn dyed stripes add to the angle detail.

The pockets are more of a mini size but my son found plenty of opportunities to stash things in them while practicing his ninja moves 🙂

During testing, I made a size 6 hoodie for my 4 year old. It is too big for him right now, but I sized up in anticipation of it fitting next year as well. Cloud 9 Interlock is such wonderful quality and the stripes and crosses were the perfect for a super soft hoodie. It’s even on sale!

This hoodie pairs perfectly with his Rough ‘n Tumble pants which I’m pretty sure he stole from his brother’s drawer as they’re also too big! The hood is a crossover style, but has plenty of room!

Make sure to grab your copy of the Hideout Hoodie while it’s on sale through Thursday night! It’s perfect for both boys and girls. I have one cut out for my daughter that I’m looking forward to sewing soon!
