Before you start:Read all instructions before starting project.Seam allowance is NOT included, add that were two pieces are sewn together. Do not add allowance where you’re going to add binding. I usually have a seam allowance of 0.6 cm since I use a serger with a seam that is 0.5cm wide. Any stretchy knit will work for the hoodie, softshell, woven wool or cotton have also been used, but you might have to go up a size in width if using non stretchy fabric.Prewash all fabrics before sewing to avoid color bleeding and shrinking.Measure the test square on the first page to make sure you printed correctly.It should measure exactly 4x4 cm (or 2x2”)Make sure you are using the most up to date version of Adobe Reader.

Fabric requirements:The pattern does not include seam allowanceThe illustration below shows the pattern parts on folded fabric with a total width of 150 cm. Do not forget to take into consideration the extra seam allowance and shrinkage of the fabric if you order fabric according to these measurements. Besides this, any pockets, lining for hood, cuffs and bindings may apply.

Pin together.Pin the raglan sleeves right sides together with the front and back pieces. Make sure you align the front of the sleeves to the front pieces. You should notice if you reversed it since the back is slightly higher than the front.

Sew all raglan seams together.The result should be like this.Put the top away for now and grab your skirt pieces and hood pieces.

Sew skirt;If you want pockets see page 9 for instructions on that.With back skirt piece right side up, pin a front skirt piece right side down to each edge of the back skirt and sew together.

Sew hood; Hood pieces right sides together and sew, leaving the front and bot-tom sides open. Repeat for lining.

Results in this.Your skirt should look like a donut with an opening on one side.

Pinning the hood to top.Pin the hood right sides together with the neck opening. If you have a lining for the hood the hood pieces should be right sides together with the bodice sandwiched between. The bodice right side facing the right side of the outer fabric and the wrong side facing the right side of the lining.

The top is almost done.We still have to finish the sleeve but we will do that later. Find your skirt piece.

Mark out center points.Find and mark the center back on both skirt and top, this will make it easier when pinning the skirt to the top in the next step.

Add binding;Add binding all around the opening and hood.

Wrist cuffs.If using wrist cuffs, fold them in half right sides together and sew.

Fold again.Fold the cuff in half again, wrong sides together

Sew cuffs.Put the cuff, right sides together with the sleeve and raw ends together. Line up the seams. Pin if needed and sew the cuff in place.Hemming.If you want to hem, you need to add 5cm (2”) extra when cutting + the size of the hem. So if I want a 2cm (0.8”) hem I add 7cm (2.75”) extra to the sleeves.
