Ever since\u00a0I made a hoodie from a Craftsy course<\/a>\u00a0last year, I’ve wanted to make a hoodie with more of a traditional sweatshirt style. Searching through various websites, I eventually came across the Halifax Hoodie by Hey June Handmade<\/a>* which looked perfect for the style I was after.<\/p>\n

As this was my second ever hoodie that I’d made for myself, I decided to keep things relatively easy, and make style A –\u00a0a regular-styled hoodie with a split neck. I did make things a little more complicated by choosing to line the hood, and add in the\u00a0thumbhole cuffs<\/a>\u00a0from the Lane Raglan Top<\/a>* too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There were a few points where I started arguing with my sewing machine, especially at the point where the neck band is meant to cover the raw edges of the hood and the main body. But a couple of hand stitches helped just to hold the band in place.<\/p>\n

I do need more practise (or maybe better instructions!) at adding in eyelets for the drawstring cord. The back of one of the eyelets came off as I was sewing the drawstring channel, and I’m not convinced it’ll stay in position when the top gets washed. At least with the drawstring in place, the eyelet won’t fall off completely – it’ll get caught on the drawstring itself, so I shouldn’t be able to lose it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I lined the hood with some grey swan jersey fabric and used the same fabric for the binding on the edge of the kangaroo pocket. The drawstring tape is a little brighter than I’d expected, but it picks out the orange bills of the swans.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The instructions for the Halifax are really easy to follow, and it resulted in such a great hoodie, I’m already planning my next Halifax top.<\/p>\n
