George and Ginger - Walk Around Top

 

I love George and Ginger, the designer always come out with a new trendy style. This time we tried the new release walk around top.  It is a fun T-back design hoodie!  

This is a very quick sew with bands. The hood is a nice size and a fun addition to this top. This top doesn't offer a built in bra, but you can definitely wear it over your workout clothes. 

The pattern comes in a wide range of sizes and in petite sizes!  

The suggested fabric for this top is a medium to heavyweight knit with at least 50% stretch, such as athletic knit or cotton lycra.  I used yoga stretch which is a fast-drying and breathable 4-way stretch. I love the color of this fabric, Surge Blue.

5 out of 4 - Kids' halftime hoodie & Wilbur

 Happy New Year 2023!

I hope you had the time to recharge during the holidays. I did and I spent some time in my sewing room.  First project of the year, is the 5 out of 4 patterns Kids halftime hoodie*.  He is not a big fan of hoodie so I made the sweater version and he loves it. 💙💚

The kids' halftime hoodie includes a few options:

- Hood or crewneck

- Regular or thumbhole cuffs

- Optional grommet or buttonholes for hood tie

- Kangaroo pocket

The kids' version is available in sizes 2-18 and there is also an adult version. I may have to try it.

A little bit about the fabric, I use an Eike brushed sweatshirt from L'Oiseau fabrics. The fabric is very soft and warm.  95% cotton and 5% Elastane stretch.  Same fabric than my Hoodie Dress! 

I also made him a new pair of Wilbur sweatpants* from 5 out of 4 patterns.  You can find my first version here with all the details for the pattern. 

This time I used  French Terry from L'Oiseau fabrics. Maike Solid French terry Black 97% Cotton/ 3% Elastic (245 gsm)

All the best for the New Year!
