craftgrrl | Ricky Rackman rocks my socks

Instead of working today, I made this:

The front back, and cuffs are made out of an old XL Head Banger's ball T-shirt that I refused to part with for sentimental reasons.
The hood, sleeves and pockets are made of a printed flannel (I have already used some of it for a belt buckle bag some many months ago)
The inside of the hood is lined (the back of the tiger stripe is bright white flannel. Which looked terrible)in the back of yet another t-shirt that I stole the front screen from because it got a hole in the front.

(the back of the hoodie, which used to be the back of the t-shirt)

Inspired by one of the dancers on 'So you think you can dance' last night who had a B/W Zebra hoodie.
Also it's something I haven't made yet.
The hardest part was making the cording for the hoodie.
Cotton flannel is a bitch to turn.

The flannel at the cuffs and the neck is slightly gathered since it doesn't stretch like the T material and this way I can actually move around in it.
The front separating zipper was rescued from another garment and taken down to the proper size using patience and pliers.

Based the pattern off another store bought hoodie I have.

Otherwise took about 3 hrs start to finish.

K.
Bye now!
