Kitschy Coo Reversible Zippy Hoodie
Myra has been in need of a new jacket, and since we had a cold snap here in Utah last week, I didn't have much time to knock something together.
Fortunately, the Kitschy Coo Reversible Zippy Hoodie goes together in a flash, so Myra didn't have a chance to get chilly at the playground. And you're in luck, since the Reversible Zippy Hoodie is one of the patterns you can get in the Sew Fab bundle! Only $29.99 for $200 worth of AMAZING patterns! Hurry over, the sale is only on for a week.
This is the third time I've made up this pattern (you can see the first two here and here) and I'm still amazed at how quickly and easily it comes together. I mean seriously, it's fully reversible with all seams enclosed and it only takes maybe 4 hours total to sew. So awesome.
Myra added her own touch to this one by designing and cutting out the pocket appliques. I'm pretty impressed with her creativity! As a bonus, the extra layer of fleece makes the pockets super warm.
You'll note she has her hands in them in all the pics. They are also lined with the fleece, so they're nice and soft.
The fabric for the shell is a fleece print that was given to me by a friend. The selvage says Joann. The lining and cuffs are interlock from Chez Ami. It's lovely stuff. Beefy and soft and an absolute dream to sew. I ordered the zipper from ZipperStop. I was really impressed how quickly it came. It only took two days to go from New York to Utah!
I made the 5Y size for Myra and the fit is great. I like that the length covers her backside and the waistband keeps the breezes out.
We both love how comfy the hood is. It fits her really well, and she has trouble with hoods in general. Big brains, dontcha know.
Life on the playground can be tough, but Myra's ready to rock in her awesome hoodie!

This came out so excellent, I love that Myra got involved with the pocket design! I really need to make one in fleece.
It seems like a winner pattern. My friend once said kids are more likely to eat veggies if they work in a garden. Do you think it works for clothing? More likely to wear it if they helped make it?
Super cute jacket, looks like a great pattern.
I must sew up two of these for my kiddos, STAT!
I love the creativity and pop of her appliques. It's a great color on her, too. The photos with the hood framing her face are gorgeous. Well, hard not to be since she is gorgeous.
I love all these colors! She did a good job on her pocket appliques. What a fun jacket!
Fun and stylish jacket!
It's so sweet. Great job on the pockets, Myra!
Such a pretty jacket and lovely that your daughter had some creative input as well.
The hoodie is so cute! She looks like she's enjoying it.
The pocket appliques are such a great touch!!
What a beautiful hoody!Did you use the YUK #3 lightweight separating zipper?
The hoodie is beautiful! Did you use the YUK #3 lightweight zipper?
She is just the cutest in her new hoodie. I'll keep that pattern in mind for the niece and nephew.
So sorry I'm just answering this!! I actually used a #5 YKK plastic zip. It's a little chunkier, and more sturdy.
Thank you so much! I haven't use them before and had no idea what to choose. Thanks again.
I'm going to order it and the pattern right now...already have the fabric:):)
