round-up, winner and many thanks!

Posted on June 25, 2014 by Cherie

PHEW! We made it to the end of the sew-along. Today is the day we wrap it all up.

I am sooooo amazed by all the different hoodies that were made during the sew-along! I loved seeing all of the ‘in progress’ pics and getting feedback and questions along the way. And the finished hoodies are all so awesome and SO different! I love the variety – it’s amazing how one pattern can be interpreted in so many different ways!

Meg and I have rounded up all the hoodies that were in the Flickr group (as well as a few from Instagram) and are sharing them on our blogs for everyone to see. But FIRST, I’ll just go ahead and announce the winner of the sew-along PRIZE, since you all are probably dying to know if it is you 🙂

A big thank you to the wonderful sponsors of our giveaway prize:

The winner is going to receive:

$30 gift certificate to Miss Matatabi

$30 gift certificate to Girl Charlee

2 yards of fabric from Imagine Gnats

Sty lish Skirts pattern book from Tuttle Publishing

How to Sew Japanese Sewing Patterns e-book + patterns by Rin Gomura-Elkan

AND . . .

Secret gifts from Meg and Cherie!

And the randomly selected winner is (drumroll please) . . .

Lucinda P. who made this awesome hooded DRESS from an upcycled button up shirt!

Congrats Lucinda!

Seriously, all of the hoodies are all so unique and original, I loved seeing each new picture being added to the group. Links to the original photo are below each collage and start with the picture in the top left corner and go clockwise. Half of the hoodies are here and the other half are on Meg’s blog, so be sure to check out her post too!

One of the fun ways that people remixed the hoodie was by playing with contrasting fabrics and color blocking. I love all these combos!

It’s all about the details in this group of hoodies . . . floral binding, embroidery, applique, piping, added ties . . . such unique touches!

I also love the simplicity of these solids and classic stripes and polka dots. They really let the design of the pull-over shine.

And in the last group, we’ve got some comfy looking hoodies made from knit fabric and a couple of fun floral fabrics too.

I want to give a huge THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the sew-along!! I’m really glad that we were able to sew together – even if you didn’t get to finish your hoodie yet, that’s ok! I had so much fun. I especially loved hearing people tell me that they were always too scared to attempt a Japanese pattern and that this gave them the final push to try it. That was the whole point of the sew-along, so I’m happy that we were able to do this together!

And definitely a big thanks to Meg, my co-host for the sew-along. Definitely could NOT have done it without you, Meg! You’re a rock star! But I think we all already knew that.

Ok, so before I really wrap this up, I wanted to ask you guys for any feedback you have regarding the sew-along. Who knows if I’ll do this again, but I’d love to hear what you thought – even if you didn’t participate in this sew-along at all!

What did you like? What didn’t you like? How was the pace? The timing of the sew-along? Anything you want to see more of? Was there anything particularly helpful or still way too confusing? Would you want to do another sew-along? Another pattern from this book? A different Japanese sewing book? Any suggestions? I’d love to hear it!

Alright friends, that’s a wrap on this sew-along. Time for me to catch up on some sleep 😛

Happy Homemade Sew-along // the hoodie

Posted on June 23, 2014 by Cherie

Did you finish your pull-over for the Happy Homemade Sew-along!? Today is the day you want to get your pictures into the Flickr group! Be sure to do that by the end of the day. Someone asked me what time “end of the day” is and I don’t have an exact hour, but basically by the time Monday finally slips away from this earth, try and have your pictures in the pool. Or before you go to bed tonight – whatever. Then check back in on Wednesday for our round-up and to find out if you’re the winner of the sew-along prize!!

Though you’ve seen my hoodie throughout the sew-along, I thought I’d share some pictures of it finished and on my daughter. It’s always one thing to see a garment on a hanger and then another to see the actual fit on a person.

I made my hoodie in size 2, based on my daughter’s measurements. Looking at other people’s pictures in the Flickr pool, I probably could have gone a size up so it would last her longer, but at least she’s got a sibling who will grow into it eventually as well.

The modifications I made were adding the kangaroo pocket, lining the hood and also adjusting the shape of the hood slightly. Meg mentioned the hood being too small, so I also angled the straight edge of my hood forward and then I rounded out the back of the hood a little.

I think that it helped, but even still, there’s something a little strange about how this hood fits and the shape. I think it has something to do with the very open and low neckline. When the hood is up, you can see how it starts at the shoulder, as opposed to closer to the neck like I’m used to.

But besides that, I really love the hoodie. In these pics, they are styled a little more appropriately for fall, but I like the versatility. It can be layered for the cooler months, or paired with shorts and a tank top for warm weather, or thrown over a bathing suit as a cover up. And I love that it looks great on all kids, boys and girls.

The main fabric I used is double gauze that I bought at Bolt back when I visited Portland in 2013. I’d been saving it for who knows what. I have to say, I LOVE the way it looks as a hoodie, but part of me is really sad because I don’t think Yuki will wear this and I really really love the fabric. The first time she saw the hoodie she said she liked it. Then when it was time to put it on she said she didn’t like it. When I said that it made me a little sad to hear that since I had worked so hard to make it for her, she said, “Well, I LIKE it, I just don’t want to wear it.” 😦 Hah!

But this is basically how Yuki feels about it. Sigh. Maybe her sister will wear it someday…

The lining and drawstring were made with double gauze that I bought from Imagine Gnats. It doesn’t actually match the color of the red stars, but close enough!

You guys know that I love double gauze. It’s really soft and comfy. Feels warm but still really breathable and perfect for hot weather. I wish this hoodie fit ME!

Anyways, it has been soooo exciting seeing all the of the hoodies pop up in the Flickr group! I love how they are all so different! Everyone put such a unique spin on it with their choices of fabric and other modifications. It’s so great and really makes me happy that people actually participated! Thank you SO much to everyone who sewed along! Be sure to check back in on Wednesday!!

Happy Homemade Sew-along // day five

Posted on June 20, 2014 by Cherie

It’s the last day of the Happy Homemade Sew-along!! So excited to finish up our pull-overs today! I know that some of you have already gone ahead and finished your hoodies, and some people are just getting started, and that’s totally fine! Move at your own pace, you still have the weekend to finish up. Or if you’re done early – go ahead and make another one! 🙂

Today, we’re finishing up with steps 5 and 6. If you prepped the hems back on Day 2, these steps are super fast. But even if you didn’t, it shouldn’t take us long to finish this puppy up!

Fold the edge of your sleeve towards the wrong side 1 cm and press. Fold again, this time 2 cm, enclosing the raw edge and press.

Pin and sew along the folded edge. Repeat with the other sleeve.

Fold and press the bottom of the pull-over the same way you did with the sleeve (but don’t pin and sew yet). If you haven’t already, attach your strip of fusible interfacing to the center front of your pullover, just above the higher of the two fold lines.

Find and mark the center of your pullover by folding it in half and finger pressing or ironing a little crease by the interfacing. Using that center mark, measure 1.5 cm to either side and mark your buttonhole placements. I transferred my markings to the right side of my pull-over and sewed from that side since it tends to look nicer.

If you are not familiar with making buttonholes on your machine, there are a few more detailed directions on page 59 that may help.

Fold the hem back up, pin and sew along the folded edge.

We’re almost there!!

Attach a safety pin or bodkin to one end of your cotton tape/drawstring material and thread through one of the buttonholes, all the way around the hem, and back out the other buttonhole.

Tie it up and you’re DONE!

So, what do you think!? How did it go? Do you like the pull-over? Was it easy to sew up? Will you use this pattern again?

I have yet to try this on my little one, so we’ll see how the fit is and if she approves, but I think it’s adorable and I hope she wears it! I’ll try and take some pictures of her wearing it over the weekend and post them on Monday. Be sure you get pictures of your finished pull-over (on the hanger or on a model – either is fine!) and add them to the Flickr pool by Monday, June 23 to be included in our round up and a chance to win the fantastic sew-along prize!!

I’m loving all the in progress and finished sew-along pictures popping up on Instagram and on Flickr. You guys are doing an amazing job! And I suspect we’ll see a lot more added over the weekend. Can’t wait! I’ll check back in with you on Monday.

Happy Homemade Sew-along // day four

Posted on June 19, 2014 by Cherie

It’s Day 4, and today we’re tackling the trickiest part of constructing the pull-over. Meg is going to take us through attaching the hood to the pull-over and finishing the neckline. My advice, take your time! And once we get through today, it’s totally smooth sailing till the end. Check out Day 4 HERE.

Happy Homemade Sew-along // day three

Posted on June 18, 2014 by Cherie

Day Three! So we’ve prepped our pattern and cut our fabric and we’re finally ready to sew! Today we’re going to be doing steps 1-3 of the Pull-over Parka from Happy Homemade: Sew Chic Kids.

The steps are pretty basic, so our work should be fairly simple for today! Just a note:
ALL SEAM ALLOWANCES ARE 3/8 IN (1 CM) unless otherwise stated.

Now, a kangaroo pocket is not part of the pattern, but I really wanted to add one, so I thought I’d show you how to do that. If you’re not adding a pocket skip down to Step 1.

Yesterday, Meg talked a little about drafting the kangaroo pocket. You can either cut out one and fold the edges over, or you can cut two and sew them right sides together and then top stitch that onto the hoodie. I opted for the latter just because it seemed easier.

Pin your pocket pieces, right sides together. Sew all the way around leaving a 3 inch opening at the bottom. Clip the corners off. Turn right side out and press. If you want, you can top stitch the pocket openings (diagonal lines), though this is mostly just for looks. Then pin the pocket onto the hoodie (make sure to leave room at the bottom of the hoodie for hemming) and sew along the top and the bottom edge. Be sure to backstitch at the ends to secure openings.

Alright, moving along to . . .

Step 1. Sew sleeves to top

If you haven’t already, transfer markings from your pattern pieces to your fabric. You’ll need to know which side of your sleeve attaches to the front of the pull-over and which attaches to the back.

With right sides together, line up the “front” of the sleeve with the front piece of the pull-over along the armhole. Pin and sew with a 3/8 in seam allowance.

Trim and finish the edge with a serger or a zig zag stitch. Press the seam allowance toward the sleeve. Repeat with the other sleeve front.

Now we’re going to repeat the same steps with the back. With right sides together, line up the edge of the “back” of the sleeve with the back of the pull-over. Pin and sew. Finish the edge and then press the seam allowance toward the sleeve. Repeat with the other sleeve. Now both sleeves and the front and back of the pull-over should all be attached.

Step 2. Sew sleeve and side seams

With right sides together, fold the pull-over at the shoulder and bring the sides and sleeve edges together. Be sure to line up the seams at the bottom of the armhole. Pin and sew a continuous seam along the sleeve and side. Repeat on the other side.

Finish your seam allowance and press towards the back of the pull-over.

Turn right side out and press.

Woohoo, the body of your pull-over is constructed! Set that aside.

Step 3. Sew hood

With right sides together, pin along the top and back curved edge of the hood. Sew, finish edges, turn right side out and press.

I noticed that a few people plan on adding lining to their hoods. If you are adding lining, skip the next step and continue with the lining directions below.

If you’re not adding lining, you need to hem the front edge of the hood. There are specific directions at the bottom of page 42, but it is a basic double fold hem. Fold the edge of the hood 1 cm towards the wrong side. Unfold and tuck the raw edge under, within the fold, and press. Top stitch along the folded edge to secure hem down.

If you are adding a lining to the hood, you’ll need to cut out 2 hood pieces from your lining fabric, then sew them together like you did with the hood from the main fabric above. Press.

Place the main hood and the lining hood, right sides together, lining up the straight edge. Pin together and sew with a 3/8 inch seam allowance. Flip hood right side out so that lining is inside the main hood. Press the edge of the hood and roll the lining in slightly so that it is not visible from the outside. Top stitch along the straight edge of the hood and baste the two layers together along the bottom curve to make it easier to attach to the hoodie tomorrow.

And you’ve just completely steps 1-3! Tomorrow, we will attach the hood to the pull-over, add the elastic and finish the neckline, which are probably the most difficult steps in the whole process. But Meg will walk us through those steps on Day 4! How is your sewing coming along so far? Have you been sharing your pics on Instagram (#happyhomemadesewalong) or Flickr? Just two more days and we’ll be done with our hoodies! I can’t wait 🙂

*UPDATED TO ADD MORE INFORMATION AT THE BOTTOM*

Oooh, the sew-along starts in less than a week! We’re in major preparation mode now and today I’m going to talk about what materials you’ll need to make the pull-over parka.

But first, did anyone try out some hoodie ideas with the sketch I provided last week? Yuki and I had fun coloring a few in and trying some different combos.

Yesterday, I posted on Instagram one of the combos I’m considering. And I also just added my favorite of Yuki’s hoodies in the flickr group. You definitely want to check that out. If you’ve got a sketch, don’t forget to share it! #happyhomemadesewalong

ANYWAYS, moving on to materials. Do you have your fabric picked out yet? I’m guessing that some of you do and some of you don’t. And that’s fine! If you’re in the latter group, we’re going to help you figure that out today! Meg is sharing with you some suggested fabrics types and an amazing selection of prints she rounded up. And I’m going to tell you how much fabric you need along with any other materials required for this project. Shall we get started?

First, you need to figure out what size you’re going to make. Here’s the size chart included in the English version of the book to help you determine the appropriate size.

The first number in each box is in inches. In parentheses is the measurement in centimeters.

Most Japanese sewing books follow the same format: Pictures of all the projects in the first half of the book and instructions in the back. In the Japanese version of the book, the pull-over pictures are on page 22 and 23.

You can see the directions are on page 54.

In the English version of the book, the pull-over is on page 24, with directions on page 60.

Flip over to your directions page and in the top left corner is wear you’ll find a lot of the basic information that you need to begin.

The pullover parka hoodie is labeled pattern “S.” The first section tells us which pattern pieces we are going to need. In the Japanese book, it also tells you that you can find the pattern pieces on “Side A” of the pattern pages. We can skip this information for now – we’ll be diving into that part next week.

The next section is about the materials you’ll need. Japanese patterns don’t really give you suggested fabrics. Instead, it lists the fabric used in the samples in the book. So for example, while some patterns might suggest, “light- to medium-weight fabric such as quilting cotton, shirting, linen or voile,” Japanese patterns might say something like, “floral print cotton” or in this case, “herringbone cotton” or “tartan cotton.” This information can be useful if you want to replicate the book version, but as far as recommendations, they aren’t very helpful. Luckily, Meg is here to help you out with fabric suggestions!

What you should pay attention to though, is the number next to the fabric. Here it says, “40 in (102 cm) herringbone cotton.” That first number is the width of the fabric. Be sure that the fabric you choose is at least the same width as the measurement listed here.

This section has a ton of numbers, so it’s a little hard to separate what’s what, but I’ve color coded it to make it easier. Based on these numbers, here’s what I’d recommend buying for each size (I rounded up a little).

Size 2: 1 and 1/4 yards
Size 4: 1 and 1/2 yards
Size 6: 1 and 1/2 yards
Size 8: 1 and 2/3 yards

The other materials you’ll need are:
Fusible interfacing: 2 x 3/4 in
Cotton tape: 44 in
1/4 inch wide elastic: 2 and 3/8 in

The cotton tape is used to create a drawstring at the bottom of the pull-over. You can use twill tape, bias tape, cording, ribbon, etc. If you use bias tape, you’ll want to sew it shut along the open edge.

Besides fabric and notions, there a few other things that you’ll need to gather before you can begin.

Tracing paper. The first thing we’re going to need to do is the find and trace the pattern pieces we need. You’ll want as large of sheets as possible, like this, which can be found at most art stores
Ruler and pencil. I’m assuming you already have one, but since we’ll be adding our own seam allowance, you’re not going to be able to do that without a ruler.
Safety pin. It will come in handy when threading the cotton tape through the casing.

Is it time to go shopping? I’m going to start with my stash and see if I have anything there first. Looking for fabric suggestions? Be sure to check out Meg’s post! She has rounded up a drool-worthy selection of prints to consider along with helpful suggestions on fabric types.

We’re getting close! Sew-along begins in SIX DAYS!

Happy Homemade Sew-along // mixing it up

Posted on June 5, 2014 by Cherie

So we’re gearing up for the Happy Homemade Sew-along! It’s the week of June 16-20. By now, you should either have the book in your hands or maybe you’re waiting for it arrive. Today, Meg and I have some hoodie inspiration for you so you can start planning YOUR hoodie.

One of the reasons we picked this pattern to sew, is because the possibility for simple modifications is endless! Now there is nothing wrong with sewing up the pattern exactly as directed, but if this isn’t your first time sewing this pattern or you are looking for something a little different, here are some ideas of ways you can mix up the pullover parka pattern.

Hoodie Modifications // you & mie

The original pattern features a hood, 3/4 length sleeves, a drawstring for the bottom and a partial elastic neckline. Let’s talk about some ways you can mix it up!

*We aren’t going to be walking you through any of these modifications during the sew-along, so if you want to alter your pattern, be sure you know how to do that on your own :)*

SLEEVES

Two easy modifications is to change the length of the sleeves to make either a short sleeved or long sleeved top. Or, you can lengthen the sleeves and make an elastic casing for a gathered cuff.

HEM

Instead of adding a drawstring along the bottom hem, you can use elastic for a similar look but without the hassle of tying. Or you can just hem it regularly and omit that gathered hem altogether. By lengthening the hoodie and extending the side seams into a slight A-line shape, you can make this into a hooded dress!

POCKETS

Adding pockets is another simple and practical way to update this pattern. You can add a patch pocket, a kangaroo pocket, in-seam pockets or even welt pockets.

COLOR BLOCKING

The raglan style sleeves of this pattern naturally lend themselves to color blocking. You can chose different fabrics for the sleeves, the hood and the front and back. If you are comfortable modifying your pattern to break it into segments for color blocking, that just opens up a bazillion new combinations and possibilities.

EMBELLISHMENTS

You probably know by now that I am a big fan of fabric stamping, stenciling and painting to create one-of-a-kind fabric and garments. Well this is the perfect opportunity to add your unique mark to a piece of clothing for your kid! And how much would your kid love it if you added something they are really into? This pattern is perfect for adding applique or embroidery. And have you seen my Panda Raglan Tee tutorial?? ANIMAL HOODIE, need I say more?

Well, there are some ideas to get your hoodie planning started. And like I said, you don’t need to make any modifications to the pattern to make an awesome hoodie! The easiest way to make your garment “you” and unique is in your fabric selection. We’ll be talking more about fabric next week, but in the meantime, why don’t you download this blank hoodie template and start brainstorming ideas for your hoodie!?

You can either right click/control+click and select “Save Image As” or download a PDF version HERE.

Print it out and grab some pencils, markers, or paint to play with different ideas for your hoodie. Be sure to check out Meg’s post for a round-up of hoodies to give you more inspiration. Check out your fabric stash. Play around with colors. This is just for fun so you can make your picture as realistic or outrageous as you want. Then upload your picture to the flickr pool or post it on Instagram and tag it with #happyhomemadesewalong so we can all be inspired by YOU!

Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Happy Homemade Sew-Along // where to buy the book

Posted on June 2, 2014 by Cherie

Thanks to everyone for entering the Happy Homemade Sew-Along Giveaway! The three lucky winners are:

Shanna R.
Annette H.
Stephanie S.

Congrats!

Now if you didn’t win the giveaway, but still want to participate in the sew-along, but don’t yet have the book . . . well, you better get moving! If you’re ordering online, you’ll need some time for shipping. So where can you get one? I’m here to help!

But before we get to that, I just wanted to talk to anyone who might be on the fence about getting this book . . .

GET OFF THE FENCE.

This is definitely one of THE most popular Japanese sewing books and for good reason! It’s packed cover to cover with really great, classic styles that you can use over and over again. See more pictures in my book review and Meg’s (she has a ton of photos of all of the amazing things she’s made from the book). And it’s not even expensive! The book has 20 patterns. I’ve seen the book priced between $13-17 and even with shipping costs, we’re talking maybe $1-2 MAX PER PATTERN! That’s an amazing deal.

Now that you’re ready to buy it, where should you start? Well I find online shopping super convenient, but sometimes I don’t like paying for shipping and handling if I can avoid it. If you’re interested in the English version, Happy Homemade: Sew Chic Kids, I’d call your local bookstores. Larger chains might carry it or maybe your local sewing/fabric shop.

If you’re interested in buying online, I’ve found a few places you can try:

Tuttle Publishing
Amazon
Barnes & Noble
Rakuten.com
Book Depository
Bookworld (Australia)
Penguin Books (Australia)
Amazon UK (Oh hey! The book is in French!)

If you are up for a challenge, and want to buy the Japanese version, Happy Homemade Vol.2, the best bet to buy it locally is at a Japanese bookstore like Kinokuniya. Some Japanese supermarkets have book sections, so you can always try those as well.

As for online sources, here are some links:

Amazon
Kinokuniya
Etsy
eBay

Ok, it’s time to get shopping! You gotta make sure you can get the book in your hands by Monday, June 16th when the sew-along begins!

*Edited to add: a couple of people commented that they found the book at their local LIBRARY! That’s brilliant! What a great way to check out the book and see if it’s worth buying. So definitely check there first if you’re still on the fence about buying the book*

Do you know of any stores, local or online that sell either version of the book? If so, leave me a comment and I’ll add it to the list!

you and mie
