Raglan hoodies and French lycra terry

The Scientific Seamstress All-the-Rage Raglans

Trying out a new pattern this week from the Scientific Seamstress.

They are well constructed patterns to work through.

Lots of information that you can use if you need

and easily ignore if you don't.

There are a number of variations with respect to length, sleeve types, hood types or no hood.

First up- boys' version for my older son.

Fabrics: Lycra French terry with Stella for the hood lining

(all from Crafty Mamas shop)

Embroidery: Sapphire Dragon from Urban Threads

Approval rating: Gotta love boys. Easy to please.

Does anyone out there have a 6-7 year old boy who will sit demurely and smile at the camera?

I wonder how you get one of those.

Then the girlie one for my daughter...

Fabrics: Lycra Fench terry and hood lining is a rib knit from Crafty Mamas shop

Embroidery: Embroidery Library

Approval rating:

Abbott 47%

Gillard 53%

Mummy 99%

So it doesn't add up. I am still apparently favourite at the moment.

Bless pink and butterflies!
