How to make a Quilted Hoodie

[@sarahleigh1502]

I've been sewing for years and lady; that demo was awesome. Such a great teacher..... I now have a great plan for my 8 grand daughters Christmas or birthday gifts. I look forward to seeing more of you. Thank you.

[@CarolinaMoore]

Thank you! I hope they love their gifts!! 🥰🥰

[@usarmymedic1334]

Girl, I waited to see it on you. Totally disappointed......not really. Love, love, love this idea. Blessings

[@CarolinaMoore]

Hahaha... this was 2 full days of filming and at the end I probably wasn't thinking straight. 😆 There are probably videos of me on my Instagram wearing it? I'm @craftmoore on all social channels.

[@kathyf3656]

You've got me wanting to run out and buy a hoodie just to make this jacket. Great instructions. Thank you.

[@CarolinaMoore]

You're welcome! It is a fun project!! 🥰

[@bettytraud8631]

Love the sewing notions!!! So many I want to try and I’m sure so many more that I don’t even know I want yet.

[@LG-dj9qr]

Oh I wish I could have seen you wearing it!!

[@CarolinaMoore]

At some point I'll have to have a friend snap a photo of me wearing it. 🥰

[@patstrawhouse4005]

This is fabulous! What a brilliant idea to use freezer paper for making the pattern! I think this is a great opportunity to use narrow wonder under to attach the fabric along the edges of the hoodie.-I’m not a pinker either! As a bonus, I think that this might help to stabilize the knit of the jersey. There are so many possibilities. As a first quick project-I have far too many WIPS and really want to squeeze this in! I could see myself just lining hood and use matching or co-ordinating fabric for pockets (or make bias binding and just add it to the curved edge of the pockets). More quilting motifs could always be added at any time. I live in a colder region, so I might even use a flannel for some hoodies. Love the idea of using the selvage as part of the label. I keep meaning to do this on my quilts. I found them on your website, but it would be a good Idea to add your social media links in your notes, so others can follow you there. Thank you, and stay well! Muskoka ON 🇨🇦

[@CarolinaMoore]

Thanks for your lovely comments! And yes, I should add my social media links in the notes! I hope you have lots of fun making your quilted hoodies! ❤️

Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful creative idea. Just want you to know that you are a great teacher your tone of voice and steps made it very easy for me to follow. I definitely will make one and follow you on KZbin. Aloha from Hawaii

I read your blog post, from gray hoodie, & found it interesting. Want to make one for my granddaughter & she wants a large star befow the hood. Appreciate your video😊

[@robinlancaster1345]

I am planning to make my daughters and daughter-in-law quilted jackets for Christmas. They each have little girls that I wanted to also make jackets for, but I wanted something more fun for them. THIS! Thanks for sharing!

[@robinlancaster1345]

Also, did you say this works with the back covered? Two live in a cold environment, so I thought that would make it warmer. Just cut the freezer pattern to match the back in a similar way you did the front? Correct?

[@CarolinaMoore]

Yes, you can do all the different panels of the hoodie. Not sure if it makes it much warmer, but you could add a later of batting or fusible fleece between the hoodie and the quilted panel, and that might make it warmer?

[@robinlancaster1345]

@@CarolinaMoore That's exactly what I was planning on doing! Thanks, can't wait to get started.

Please share how they turn out! 🥰

[@jodysiebel5785]

We need to see it on you!! Love the fabrics!!!

[@CarolinaMoore]

I understand! I was having some body-image issues when I filmed it, so I didn't put it on. And there is no way to go back and edit the video to add it.

[@Studio7t7]

Such a great tutorial. Looking forward to seeing more of your tutorials now I’ve found you. Lovely chatting to you earlier too ✂️

[@CarolinaMoore]

Thanks!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@kathyk8836]

Great instructional video! I'm definitely going to try lining the inside of a hood as you did to add a pop of color to an otherwise bla zip-up hoodie. I will echo other commenters that I was waiting to see the full end product (maybe display on a hanger next time). Thanks for sharing your creativity and posting this. :-)

[@CarolinaMoore]

You're welcome! Unfortunately, KZbin won't let me add to a video once it is posted., so I can't add anything else. ❤

I have not added anything else to this sweater... sorry!

[@roxanngibbs7522]

I really like your quilted hoodie idea! Can you teach this as a class for our guild? It would be so fun for us to have matching hoodies.

Sure thing! It would probably need to be a 6 hour class.

[@margaretsteel8724]

I wish you had shown us the finished garment on you

[@CarolinaMoore]

I understand. I was just having some body-image issues that day, and I was really not up to it... I think most people can relate. ❤️

[@phdgkos47952]

thats pretty cool. a little flashy, but nice iddea to reinforce andd update an old falling apart jacket instead of tossing it

[@CarolinaMoore]

Thanks! Target currently has quilted coats for sale, so maybe "flashy" is on-trend? And I'd recommend this on a newer sweater rather than an old one. It is a lot of work to put into something that is falling apart. Generally, sweaters fall apart at the hems and seams, and this technique does nothing to reinforce hems or seams...

[@phdgkos47952]

@@CarolinaMoore yeah, that is actually wwhere mine is freying. also the pockets. maybe i could just sew it up. i really like the inside of the hood though.

[@CarolinaMoore]

You can replace the pockets fairly easily, but the trim is trickier. And I do love a fancy hood!

[@esperansaloughran693]

Great project!

[@CarolinaMoore]

Thanks! ❤️

[@kellihelm2805]

This is amazing! I have tons of ideas!!! thank you!!!!!

[@CarolinaMoore]

Yay! I'm so glad it was helpful! ❤️

[@gellrb56]

I had just decided to try this. I had not seen anyone sewing this and thought it might be my original idea, but I guess not. Did you know unpick means not pick? The prefix un- means not. So, you mean you will pick the seam.

[@CarolinaMoore]

In the 80s, people actually stitched fabric to the inside of sweaters, then cut holes to make it visible ... so stitching kints and wovens together has been a thing for a while ... probably longer than I've been alive. ❤️ That's okay. An idea doesn't need to be original to be fun. The word "unpick" actually does mean to remove a seam (Google it if you like). The English language is full of contradictory "rules" like that. No surprise with a language that says "i before e" then has the rule "except after c" and then has a whole list of words that are exceptions to the exception. 😆

[@brendabrown4356]

Cool idea

[@CarolinaMoore]

Thanks! ❤️

[@beverlyburns313]

Please model this!!!

[@elementgypsy]

I enjoyed this. Good tips. Thanks

[@CarolinaMoore]

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🥰

[@robinbrady3030]

I was disappointed that you didn't show the hoodie on you. How does it hold up to washing? Have you considered using denim with spandex content to give some extra give as the decorative fabric?

[@CarolinaMoore]

I was having some negative-self-image issues at this time, so wasn't comfortable showing it on my body. It holds up great to washing - I wear it and it has been washed over a dozen times. I am a quilter, so I use quilting cottons. I also don't own a serger. I'd need to go buy the denim/spandex, and I'd probably want to use a serger to maintain the stretch in the seams... so, it probably isn't for me, but someone else might want to try it!

[@heathermonks9544]

Quick question, did you pre-wash your hoodie?

[@CarolinaMoore]

I think I did... because I don't know the quality of fabric used for the Hoodia, so if it has significant shrink, I wanted to be safe. ❤️

Very very nice video thank you.

[@cgriffisteach1]

Carolyn, what. Is the name of this fabric line, or designer, please?

[@CarolinaMoore]

You have great taste! I sew with Art Gallery Fabrics, and this line is Aquarelle by Katarina Rocella. 🥰

[@janetscott9908]

Is that a craft iron and what is the stand and where can I get it?

[@CarolinaMoore]

The iron is an Oliso Mini. You can check at quilt stores - most carry the Oliso. If you don't have a local quilt shop you can also buy them online.

[@rinzerider]

Why didn't you put it on?

[@CarolinaMoore]

Because I had some body image issues when I filmed this.

[@SparkyOne549]

I have tape over all my devices front facing cameras lol

[@CarolinaMoore]

Glad I'm not the only one! 😆

[@calliemtb]

fuse Pellon SF101 to hoodie to stabilize it for adding lining?

[@CarolinaMoore]

You absolutely can! I really don't use the hood on my hoodies very often, so I'm fine with it staying floppy. But this process is super adaptable to whatever you want for your hoodie. ❤

[@susanneely5810]

I have back electrical tape over my laptop camera. :) It's for EVERYONE'S safety.

[@CarolinaMoore]

Hahaha! I always have washi tape around ... and I'm the same! Everyone benefits! 😆

[@brittnyrv5087]

Its cute but you didnt show us the finished product at all!!

[@leannemori9688]

I thought you were going to cover the entire hoodie.

[@CarolinaMoore]

You totally can, using the same technique. I chose not to.

[@janiceparks5758]

You didn't try it on

[@CarolinaMoore]

I had some body image issues at the time... modeling it was not going to happen. 💔

[@karenhawkins6311]

That’s not a hoodie. It’s a sweat jacket, but I’m going to keep watching because I’m hoping you can apply the same techniques to an actual hoodie. 🤞🤞🤞

[@CarolinaMoore]

Curious, I went ahead and googled "hoodie." Here is the definition: a hooded sweatshirt, jacket, or other top. I then searched if a hoodie can have a zipper. It can. When folks want to differentiate, they say "zip up hoodie" or "pull over hoodie." So, I'm going to keep calling it a hoodie. And you can call it whatever you like. 😉

[@karenhawkins6311]

I don't know anyone who says zip-up or pull-over hoodie. It's either a hoodie or it's a sweat jacket. Google images of each... When you search for hoodies, you'll get 99 out of 100 without a zipper and when you search for sweat jackets, you'll get 999 out of a thousand with a zipper. That's how folk really differentiate them.

[@CarolinaMoore]

@karenhawkins6311 maybe it is a regional thing? I'm in California and I checked with my friends... none of us have ever heard the term "sweat jacket." 🤷‍♀️ Google conforms to your tastes. When I Google "hoodie", the very first result for me has a zipper. Yours may be very different. The algorithm knows. 😆
