Kitschy Coo Reversible Hoodie - boy style

Back to the non-costume sewing - whew!  I wanted a project that was fun, but not overly challenging.  And Logan needs a jacket.  Enter the amazing reversible hoodie by Kitschy Coo.  I know I gushed about how much I love this pattern last time I made it, but seriously, it practically sews itself.  I mean, a reversible jacket, sewn in 2 days!!  Amazing!
and adorable.  Logan picked out the fabrics for this one, and I think he did great!  If only I had done as well matching the tops of the pocket across the zipper...  I definitely need to work on inserting separating zips.
The outer layer is quilting cotton that Logan spotted at Hancock.  We were on the search for helicopter fabric, but Logan saw this and it was love.  He chose a coordinating light blue fleece for the inner layer.  I'm not overjoyed with the color of the ribbing, but beggars can't be choosers.  This is from the stash.  My local options for ribbing are white, black and red.  I was excited to find a real reversible separating zipper in light blue!!  Even more exciting, it is a coil zip, so I could just sew through it, since of course it had to be shortened.  I got it at Stan's Sewing Supplies.  If you need a specialty zipper, he has it!  While you're shopping, he also has great prices on your everyday zips as well.
I'm so happy with this little jacket, and even happier that Logan loves it, too!!  His eyes lit up when I gave it to him and he wore it around the house all afternoon.  Oh yes, this is why I sew!
