Red Write Returning: Dinosaur Hoodie

I hear these things are kinda popular with the youth these days.

and really...I kinda want one, too!

I started out with a plain kangaroo pouch hoodie from Target. I think it was Champion brand. AND I paid full price for it. No sale, no clearance. Eek, what was I thinking? Well, I was thinking that it was for a birthday present and I was running out of time to find one cheaper. Plus, I like that little girl, so I could afford a $15 sweatshirt :)

I ripped the lining out of the hood, because I wanted to put something more colorful in there. I made sure to save it for a template...but don't sew it in right away. Wait until after the spikes are added to hide a few stitching lines!

Picked out a few colors that matched the hoodie. Proper girlie colors for a sometimes girlie girl. This is fleece, since I had all these colors on hand.

Measure the length from the top of the hood down to the waist of the sweatshirt. Then laid my colors out.

Sewed them on.

Then sewed up the spikes. And added the hood liner back in (Pretty sure I sewed it inside out to hide the seam, the I just hand stitched the hole closed).

My little is just a bit smaller than the intended recipient so I asked her to try it on. I wasn't sure I was going to get it back from her :) Maybe I should make another one...
