Ali Sweatshirt short sleeve hack - Free pattern download

Hello! Today I’m very excited to share my latest Ali Sweatshirt hack AND you can download the pattern piece for FREE. A few weeks ago, I was working on a color blocked version sweatshirt, using the color blocking worksheet that comes with the pattern. I figured out where I wanted my gold and grey colors but then discovered that I didn’t have enough of the gold fabric for full length sleeves. As I was pondering what to do, it occurred to me that I could make a short sleeve sweat shirt. And just like that this hack was born. Sometimes, the best ideas come from dilemmas.

VIDEO Ali Sweatshirt Sewalong - How to sew a Kangaroo Pocket

Today, I’m sharing how to sew the kangaroo pocket of the Ali Sweatshirt. I really love the functionality of the kangaroo pocket.

If you have a little practice sewing and topstitching knits, then this pocket is really not challenging to sew. And it’s definitely worth the time spent for it’s style and functionality.
