Visiting us today from our Advisors Circle<\/a> is Emily<\/a> who has stopped by with her Teaching a Child to Sew with Girl on the Go<\/a> and her capes post<\/a>. She\u2019s joining us to share her micro hack on one of the new Liesl + Co. patterns. Take it away Emily!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

Hello! I\u2019m excited to be here today to share my Neighborhood Hoodie<\/a>. Liesl had posted an inspiration picture with a crossover hood on a pullover and I loved it! It\u2019s a really quick and easy modification.<\/p>\n

I love that the Oliver + S and Liesl + Co. patterns are on a one inch grid so it\u2019s really easy to add or subtract length or width. I arbitrarily decided I\u2019d like to extend the front of the hood piece by two inches. (In the future I will extend it by three or four inches so I have a bit more of an overlap. This was my first time sewing this pattern and I forgot to take the half inch seam allowance when finishing the hood front into account. I cheated and used a quarter inch seam allowance but it still is a pretty subtle crossover). Anyway, I marked two inches using the grid and freehanded the curve, trying to approximate the shape.<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

I followed the rest of the pattern as instructed except for attaching the hood instead of the front neckband. Easy, right? I love<\/strong> the three-piece hood and chose to accent its awesomeness by using a contrast fabric for the middle of the exterior hood. I also used the contrast fabric for the entire hood lining. I also love the subtle high low hem. It\u2019s a little bit dressier and has more shape than most hoodies\/sweatshirts I\u2019ve worn and it\u2019s such a fun detail.<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

I paired my Neighborhood Hoodie with my Extra Sharp Pencil Skirt<\/a> because it was really warm when we took these pictures last week. Of course it has cooled down considerably so I\u2019m wearing it with jeans or leggings.<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t wait to see your hoodies!<\/p>\n

Edited to add:<\/em><\/p>\n

Hello friends! For those of you who would like to alter this pattern for yourselves, two things to note: First, you can sew the hood as it is with the existing hood pattern and the two edges will match up at center front, so the cross-over alteration is a design choice you can make. Use the pattern either way you prefer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Second, if you’d like to use the Neighborhood hoodie pieces to make a pull-on sweatshirt so it includes the princess seams and the front pocket you can do so by using the Center Front lines on pieces 6, 7, and 8 (in red below) as Cut on Fold lines. This will allow you to eliminate the zipper while keeping the design lines of the pattern. I hope this helps! \"\"<\/a>Cheers,<\/em><\/p>\n
