Well it didn’t take long to make this up on a Sunday afternoon. Below’s the day version.
 |
| I’m wearing this with my leather skirt made from a $20 leather jacket. |
This is a size 4 and not a size 6.
This body of this version is lined with a fine rayon knit from the stash. Yes Renata, the rayon knit lining was from that Pitt Trading remnant bin again. The burnt velour was from The Remnant Warehouse.
The front panels were cut as 1 piece so the front panel has no horizontal line. The side panels were left as two pieces.
The sleeves and body are shorter by 2cm.
The hem band is slimmer. If I make it again, I’ll leave the hem band off. But the hem band will stay on for a casual gym hoodie.

| Sway back adjustment |
The hood was cut down and now it’s a soft collar. It’s no more than 15cm wide.
 |
| I originally made the hood 10cm wide/long and then I added another 5 cm before I cut the fabric. |
I’ve now worn it out to dinner on a cold Saturday night and while we had a very late one, this was quiet appropriate to wear to a huge dinner with friends and their families.
PS: Thank you for the comments on my gym wear. I do wear my gym wear to the gym so while the top and tights are classed as lounge wear, they don’t get much lounging.

Wow. How many workouts do you do a week? How do you work out, work and sew? Do you sleep?
