There is a new Fibre Mood * released and I got to sew a great sweater from it, the Ellis sweater . The Ellis sweater is very quick sew but stands out because of the split neckband and waistband, such a fun detail! And of course the diagonal colour block is right up my alley. Our girl picked out the fabric herself, at least the fireworks fabric. I picked out the matching fabric. The print works well with the large piece. The sweater is a bit roomy, that is because there is a size 6 and a size 8 and she doesn't fit in the size 6, but the size 8 is still a bit big on her. Well she can grow into it. At textielstad I bought a couple of multicolour threads . I felt this was the perfect project to try it out and indeed it matches the colours in the sweater very well.

If you are looking for a hoodie with lots of options, you can stop looking, the Bubby & Bee Hoodie* by Annelaine Patterns has lots, and I mean lots of options!
The Bubby & Bee Hoodie even has an option without a hood. That is what I chose as our girl doesn't like hoods. I chose a tunic length with two ruffles at the bottom with heart shaped pockets. Other options include: a placket, vest with zipper, keyhole hood, horizontal and vertical colour blocking options, stripes on the arms, kangaroo and heart pockets, regular, tunic, dress and knee length options, banded bottoms or a ruffled bottom. And you can all interchange them. So basically you can make any type of hoodie you want with different options each time.
I really like the size range of Annelaine Patterns, they come in sizes 9M up to 20!!
I bought the pattern right away when it was released more than a year ago because I loved the double ruffled tunic. I knew our girl would love the ruffles too and the sweater would be perfect to pair with pants. Our daughter only chooses dresses to wear, however sometimes pants are just more convenient. And this sweater is the way to persuade her, because it feels as if she is wearing a dress, but then with pants! Win-win for both of us.
Fabric: Geometric party blocks mint, which I bought at Joyfits several years ago. I used the same fabric combination for this vest. The green and pink sweat comes from Italy.
