I love a fitted, fancy garment as much as the next person, but sometimes I’m just after comfort—without looking like I totally gave up on all sense of style. Enter: the Cashmerette Stanton Hoodie! It’s a hoodie sewing pattern designed for curves—at last.
Now there’s no need to compromise between coziness, fit and fashion, because we’ve got you covered. The Cashmerette Stanton Hoodie comes in sizes 0 – 32, cup sizes C – H, and it’s available as a printed pattern or PDF pattern in the two size ranges of 0 – 16 and 12 – 32.
And we have a special launch offer for you! Pre-order the printed pattern now (expected to ship in November) and you’ll get the PDF instantly, absolutely free!
What makes it special? Let me count the ways!
- It’s designed for curves: that means a relaxed, bust-friendly fit
- That fab curved pocket seam elevates it from being “just” a basic hoodie
- The option for a pullover or zipped up version
- Pockets for days
View A is a classic pullover style with a roomy front pocket (which you can also leave off if you’re anti-pockets).
View B is a zip-up version, still with those awesome curved pockets to stash your stuff.
The Stanton Hoodie is designed for mid to heavy weight knits, like sweatshirting, fleece, french terry or heavy ponte. We recommend around 15% stretch for comfort when you’re moving, but it has positive ease, so if your dream fabric has a bit less, you’ll be fine.
You’ll also need some other bits and bobs for your hoodie masterpiece: ribbing for the cuffs and waistband, twill tape, a drawstring and grommets, a separating zip for view B, and potentially some interfacing—you can see all the requirements on the Stanton Hoodie page over here.
I have to confess that in the past I’ve never been much of a hoodie wearer —they always just felt a bit overwhelming and baggy with my big boobs, but I’m a total convert with the Stanton! I find myself reaching for it on the regular, and I’m pretty sure you will too.
I can’t wait to see what you make with the Stanton, our new hoodie sewing pattern that’s designed for curves. Be sure to use the hashtag #StantonHoodie to show off your amazing hoodies on social media!
That curved pocket is a lovely touch. Great pattern
You know, every time I tell myself I have enough patterns to last a lifetime, you guys knock another one out of the park! I just love this!
A beautiful, useful pattern, and oh my!, your photographs are spectacular. Rebecca just glows and radiates strength, and you all look fabulous.
So freaking fabulous Jenny. You hit this one right out of the park for me. Retired and sometimes just tired, I don’t have a lot of places to go so this is just what I need for this winter. I’m already thinking of hacking this into a cardigan. Love it. Elaine
LOVE this! Already purchased this and have some odd French terry and heavyweight cotton spandex in my stash for a muslin version. Then I’ll look at other fabrics. I’d love to make my daughter one as a Christmas present.
However … where does one find ribbing? I found some tubular ribbing in a local fabric store a few years ago. They only had black and white. But I have used that stuff for kid’s clothing. Your versions show colorful ribbing. Where did you get it? Hopefully there will be some blog posts on sourcing fabric!
We have a post coming shortly!
