Vikisews - Reba Hoodie Sewing Pattern

Difficulty: Beginner

Sizes: UK 6 - 24

Description

Reba is a loose-fitting, straight-cut hoodie with a stylish design. It includes decorative front and back insets along with a back yoke, allowing the inserts to be made from either the same fabric or a contrasting material, like rib knit. The standing collar transitions into a double-layer hood with a drawstring casing. A partial front zipper extends to the bust, while long, relaxed sleeves are finished with cuffs. Reba is designed to sit at waist length for a modern, casual look.

Recommended Fabric

Thick French terry and double knits are ideal.

To sew this hoodie, opt for knit fabrics with the following characteristics:

• Properties: Soft, breathable, medium-weight, with low to medium stretch.
• Fiber Content: Suitable options include natural fibres (wool, cotton), artificial fibres (viscose), blends (e.g., wool + polyester, cotton + polyester, cotton + elastane), and synthetics (polyester, polyester + elastane).

Note: Lightweight or highly stretchy knit fabrics are not recommended.
