<\/noscript>This project started as an experiment.\u00a0 I wanted to make a floral-embroidered velvet hoodie.\u00a0 Very happily I thought I had found the perfect fabric at my local fabric store.\u00a0 It was a beautiful embroidered knit and on sale too.\u00a0 What could be better?\u00a0 However, upon approaching the checkout counter, the lady tells me I owe $280 dollars for a yard and a half of fabric!<\/p>\nI thought\u00a0I had heard wrongly and extended my body around to see the number in the cash register –yep, I had heard right– that's the price.\u00a0 I inspected the fabric closely again and asked, is this\u00a0silk or gold maybe??\u00a0 Nope, 100% pure polyester.\u00a0 Had I known the price and fiber content of the fabric I would have never picked this roll of fabric, of course.\u00a0 The cashier and I got into an argument:\u00a0 “I cut the fabric so you should pay” and from me “there was no price and how can you charge\u00a0so much for polyester?\u00a0 Plus I found it in a pile under a 30% off sign”.\u00a0 Eventually, I prevail and leave without the beautiful but insanely expensive knit.<\/p>\nSo I got to thinking, what if I just add the embroidery myself and save the $200 dollars?\u00a0 A little problem….my machine is useless when it comes to embroidery.\u00a0I can do quite a lot with it if I am inclined to work hard and put the time in, but the best I can usually hope for from it is\u00a0common sewing stitches<\/a>.\u00a0 So I decided to use embroidered patches instead to achieve the look I was hoping for while keeping the costs down.<\/p>\nA small pang of envy springs into my heart every time the embroidery subject is touched.\u00a0 If I could, I would purchase the Bernina 780<\/a> and place it in a shrine only to be touch when adding texture to any fabric by embroidering away.\u00a0 I have this maniacal image of myself embroidering away until the wee hours of the morning to end up with a majestic gown.<\/p>\n<\/noscript><\/p>\nMy current Juki machine, however, is having a hard time even stitching a straight line these days, so I will be using a new technique to transfer the embroidery to the velvet.\u00a0 I'll write a separate tutorial about how to do this next week.<\/p>\nThis project uses stretchable velvet.\u00a0 Many would say that this is a scary fabric to work with, but I can assure\u00a0you this is a myth, it is actually possible to succeed with stretchable velvet.\u00a0 The secret is a walking foot and a ton of patience.\u00a0 Go very slow.<\/p>\nThis is a completely new hoodie pattern and I've changed the design based on lots of reader feedback.\u00a0 There's now a bit more room in this hoodie pattern compared with the prior version.\u00a0 If you had the opportunity of making the first hoodie<\/a> then this one is going to be even easier to make.\u00a0 The interfacing, lining, and pockets are all optional.\u00a0<\/noscript>I did use the interfacing and lined the hood using the velvet. I think it made it too thick although I like the look of the velvet draping on the back.<\/noscript>I scratched the pockets completely due to my machine, but you shouldn't.\u00a0 It just became all too thick for it to navigate.<\/p>\nI have placed the embroidered patches on the shoulders, to balance the design one side has more flowers than the other.<\/noscript> And finally a small amount on one of the sleeves.\u00a0<\/noscript><\/p>\nMaterials:<\/h2>\n\n1 yard of embroidered tulle or lace<\/li>\n1 3\/4 – to 2.2 yards of stretchable velvet<\/li>\n1\/2 yard of 4-way knit for the lining of the hood (optional)<\/li>\n1 jacket zipper 22 to 24″ in length<\/li>\n2 grommets<\/li>\n1 long shoelace<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nTools:<\/h2>\n\nRotary Cutter<\/a><\/li>\nJersey or double point\u00a0 needle size 80 or 90<\/li>\nKam tool<\/a><\/li>\nWalking foot<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nFabric Recommendations for a floral\u00a0embroidered velvet hoodie<\/h2>\n
