Wintery Spring and her Hangout Hoodie

The Hangout Hoodie is comfortable and perfect for the below-temperture Spring we are having this year. 

It is no secret that the weather this Spring has been nothing short of horrible.

I am so tired of being cold, wet, and never seeing the sun. I have become that pregnant lady that is emotional, cranky, tired, sore, and just plain annoying. And I blame it on the weather.

I think the only thing that has kept me sane is my new love for sewing. Yes, I have become a bit obsessed, but honestly it has become my emotional outlet too. I get excited when another project turns out right.

It hasn't been easy for me getting up and down this pregnancy and my energy has been pretty non-existent. So being able to sit and be a little productive has helped pass the my days.

Maisie has obviously been the one who has benefited the most from my new obsession. I love making clothes for her. And with such a cute muse, I just want to keep making more.

Main fabric is Acorns Apple Pink knit
Today I am sharing the Hangout Hoodie by Peek-a-Boo Pattern Shop that I made a few weeks ago.

The knit dress has been perfect for the horrible weather. It is warm enough for the low temperatures, but could still work if the temperatures ever rise about 45 degrees (F).

The pattern calls for either short sleeve or long sleeve with cuffs, but I wanted the sleeve to hit right above her elbow, so that it was not exactly short sleeve or long sleeve, but still was flexible enough for her to move around in.

I wavered back and forth about adding the front pocket, but decided that it looked better with out.

This is just a great simple pattern for a great play-date outfit. I am sure that I'll be using this pattern for years to come.

And seriously, how cute are these two snuggling on the couch together.
Love my babies.

  4. So cute! I want to learn to sew so bad, but don't even know where to start (well, I guess getting a sewing machine would be the first thing, duh!)
