Sew Cucio

With the colder weather I have started sewing sweaters, for our girls and for myself. My husband isn't really into hoodies, but after seeing mine, he was doubting, whether maybe he also wanted one for himself. Let me first show you my sweater. I used the Raglan hoodie with a twist from Made by Runi , which is pattern of the week this week so available with a discount. I used the fitted one for women, there is also a straight cut for men and a children's version . So you can sew one for the whole family . The Raglan hoodie with a twist has the same colour blocking as  the hourglass dress  that I made recently. I love this colour blocking it looks great! There is also a one piece bodice piece if you don't like the colour blocking. Additionally, there is the option of colour blocked shoulder pieces. The pattern includes a hood and a cowl. Nevertheless, I used the free add-on of  the cross-over cowl and hood . I used the asymmetrical positioning of the eyelets. You can choo...

Well get your zippers ready because everybody will want arm pockets after seeing this amazing hoodie. It is the Clover hoodie from Sofiona Designs . It is an amazing sweater with lots of colour block options and that pocket... The Clover hoodie has many different options. It has three different styles for the front and back of the bodice. I made view A (see the pictures af the bottom of this blog post with the cactus fabric) and view B (with the unicorns). There is also a view C with no style lines in the bodice. View A is great for combing different fabrics and if you like colour blocking like I do. View B has fewer sewing lines and after seeing people in our tester group using piping I wanted to try that. Me not using the opportunity to combine different fabrics is something. I used flat piping to accentuate the different style lines in View B. The unicorn fabric comes form my  #lockdownbox from About Blue Fabrics. I though it would be fun to be surprised by some fabr...

Today the second Miss pattern (sizes 0-20) by Sofiona Designs is released. The Bonfire hoodie was already released for girls (sizes 2-16) now you can twin with your girl with your own Miss Bonfire sweater. I was one of the lucky testers and am going to show you two sweaters that I sewed during testing. This black sweater is the final pattern (I will show another one that I made with a previous version of the pattern). Miss Bonfire is just a winner because of all the options that are included. I love the colour block options. The front is great for beautiful treasured pieces of fabric and I love the colour blocked sleeves, definitely a great aspect of the pattern! Additionally, I love the curve of the hem, shorter on the front and longer on the back. You will never have a cold back again! Another must in a pattern is pockets. It is not just our girls who request pockets I also love it when a pattern has pockets (where else do you store your phone if you are wearing a skirt?...
