Thank you for the pattern. I broke my arm and couldn't get on a winter coat. My husband cut it out and I sewed it up in about 15 minutes. I love it. Thank you!

[@cheypam]

I'm making these for the Homeless in Northern USA. I'm using the extra fabric to make matching mittens (I'm making mittens so they can drop one of those great 8-12 hour handwarmers into each mitten.) I bought extra solid fleece to add lots of pockets to the inside. 💖 Thank you for your wonderful pattern!

[@onlinefabricstore]

Thank you for doing this Pam :) YOURE AWESOME!

[@carmenvelarde8400]

I have now made 4 of these and they all came out beautifully. They are so easy to make and it goes very quick. It took between 30 mins to 45 mins for me to makes for gifts, and the receivers love them. I highly recommend doing this. You won't be disappointed.

[@onlinefabricstore]

Great job! and thank you kindly for the feedback. I am so happy we could help.

[@debdonnelly8930]

Made myself one of these today added some pockets on the front and wore it in car today great for in the car I also made matching headband (ear warmer type) and fingerless gloves that match thanks for great video how to !!!

[@timmyangeltlc4888]

My mother in law helped me make this and we actually made the body of the poncho with two thicknesses of fabric for extra warmth. We kept the cowl one thickness and sewed as shown in the video. We also put a hem onto what is the top edge of the cowl (ends up being the front edge of the hood when pulled up. We also took some of the extra fabric and made a pocket on the front of the poncho and inside front to help keep my hands warm. To finish the straight edges we simply turned the edges in and sewed the seams shut.

[@melissajenkins9960]

I know you commented about this 5 years ago, but I have fleece and some faux Sherpa fabric that I would like to use for this poncho. How did you use the two thicknesses? Did you just sew them together at the edges or did you properly create a hem / seam?

[@naydanjay]

Very simple and easy to follow directions. I made one last year by looking at an old one I had bought many years ago. It just had a high collar instead of a hood. I like the idea of the hood and I think my next one will have a hood like the one here. Thank you.

[@onlinefabricstore]

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

[@nikisnell2971]

Just found your tutorial .. brilliant! I went one step farther and made mine two layers as I live in Northern Iowa. It turned out great!! I now have people asking me to make them 😊 I’d love to share my photos with you!

[@glebslobodyanyuk7880]

how can I make it with two layers?

[@gladysmccoy4090]

Thank you for this great tutorial. I just got hands on a lot of fleece and was looking for a great one to watch

[@cindyorman4527]

I love love love this! You made it so easy!

[@dwaynerobertson383]

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing this!! Let's see how I do with mine...not feelin' too confident! Fortunately, I need it as a liner for a rip-stop poncho, so it will never be seen. Any mistakes I include will be hidden. I piece of material with a hole for my head to get through. Good to go!! :)

[@onlinefabricstore]

You can do it!

[@carlatolentino7716]

That looks soo fashionable. I bought that type of fleece. I’m going to make myself one

Took me 20 mins. Thanks!!!!

[@onlinefabricstore]

You're very welcome Michelle!

[@lfink73]

I love this,. I have 2 questions: 1: when you fold it at first, are you matching the sides that used to have the selvage? (then arm to arm would be the 52 inches and front to back would by the width of the fabric? I have a directional fleece I's like to use but think I would have to cut 2 pieces. )2. When cutting the cowl- which measurement goes with the stretch of the fleece? Thanks!

[@onlinefabricstore]

That first fold is going to be along the length, so the selvage edges are still along the sides. For the cowl, you want the stretch to be in line with the longer of the two measurements.

[@onlinefabricstore]

Thanks Debbie, glad you liked it!

[@Drakuba]

neat, i work outside and my skin is not great with direct sun. Since i dont want to get even more sunburn, i have been looking for something like this online, but looks like its better for me to create it myself

[@bettyvogel1556]

Great directions. Well done

[@onlinefabricstore]

Thanks Betty!

[@kimberlyferrier1312]

thank you for the cowl idea for the poncho. i was going to make something with a wool blanket but I'm bothered by the scratchiness. i think i will make a ponch and line it with fleece???

[@osuushiza8]

TYSM!!! ♥ Ur precise, simplified, through, helpful, & fun! I will plan this as a project 4warm clothing gifts but may start w/o the neck & hoodie pc as I have a few other ideas! TYVM!! 😊 🌹

You're welcome, glad you like it!

Love it after finished, thank you!

[@onlinefabricstore]

You're very welcome :)

[@jonjones5966]

Ok.. very kool!! I'm a big guy so I'm starting w/a xl throw Mico fiber blanket. So I'll need an extra pice for the cowl. How 🤔 did big does the next pice need to be to 1. Make a cowl like you did or 2. Make cowl/hood? Thank you 😊

[@professorroundbottom438]

I'm just an internet nobody, not associated with the makers of this video, but I can tell you how I'd do it: When you've got the hole for your head at a comfortable size, measure around the edge of the hole. That measurement plus seam allowance is how long you should cut the cowl/hood piece. For the width, to make sure you can pull it up over your head, measure from your forehead to the nape of your neck and add a seam allowance plus about 1 to 1½ inches for room to move.

[@conniegonzales9496]

I like this pattern. Thank you for sharing. Quick question...what would the measurements be for someone who is 4'10" tall?

[@summaryart9091]

I made the poncho but without the cowl but I messed up. It still looks good though. Thx

[@ZykCookie]

Nice 👌👌👌👌👌

[@utbaker]

Thank you for the video. I know that ponchos are "one size fits all", but sometimes that does not fit a plus size. Would you add more material for plus sizes? If so, how much, 2 1/4 yd?

[@francesl8231]

Did you end up adding any more into it? I want to make this for a plus size woman!

[@utbaker]

I bought 2 1/2 yards (Joanns had 70% off of fleece) and my measurements were 60 x 54. Worked great.

[@cheypam]

@@utbaker thank you for the plus size measurements! ❤️

[@heatherkopeckyberisford6606]

@@utbakeryou think that would work for 4/5x?

[@debdonnelly8930]

I must be doing something wrong...folding the material the wrong way the first one I made came out perfectly but the next two I ended up having to put two seams in the cowl. am I folding it the wront way for the larger part?

[@TheMy3tons]

I have someone that wants a slightly bigger one. About 6" more. So i would do 58" ? Also, obviously the width cant change. So would it make it awkward looking?

[@veevee111]

I was wondering the same

[@onlinefabricstore]

No! I think that you could add 6" to the length and it would look fine!

[@CatherineShawley]

Thanks for this great video

[@sln4347]

what is the width of your fabric in the video? I am new to this type of craft. thx

[@sln4347]

what 'side' (length/inches) is going across your shoulders vs (length inches) down your body? I need mine to be a lot longer , closer to the ground, so when I sit down, it still covers my legs/feet. jsut want to be sure I get enough fabric.

[@onlinefabricstore]

This fabric is 60" wide

[@violetwhite3857]

I was wondering if I could do this with any kind of fabric?

[@onlinefabricstore]

I suppose you could, but if it is a fabric that frays, you will need to be really diligent about hemming the edges

[@sherrymcnicholls4239]

@@onlinefabricstore could a person use flannel and clip the edges so when washed it would be like a rag quilt? You could even sew the cowl on the outside and the snipped edges would get ragged too.

[@nitighelani5622]

Thank you

[@muniraadnan2778]

Can you tell the width you took in the starting

[@onlinefabricstore]

It is width of the fabric (which was 58") by 52" long

[@kappucheenoowusu4841]

My love for you video is irresistible 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

[@Books.N.Roses26]

what yardage would you use for a small child

[@onlinefabricstore]

Hi Rosie, for a small child I would use 1 yard total.

[@LMTRoxana]

Would you use the same measurements for the hood? or less?

[@onlinefabricstore]

I would use less. My recommendation would be to measure the neckline of the child. Then from the bottom of the neck measure up to the bottom of the chin. Whatever that measurement is double it so you can fold it over. You may need up to a 1 1/4 yards of fabric if you find that the poncho itself would be too small after you cut the rectangle piece for the cowl.

[@nidartvellir]

I cut the neckline too wide - how can i fix it? (I don’t plan on attaching a hood or anything)

[@onlinefabricstore]

You can use darts!

[@nidartvellir]

@@onlinefabricstore Ohh thank you!

[@ItsTylesOrSomething]

The width of the fabric is significantly longer than the length you specified. What should I do?

[@onlinefabricstore]

You can just cut it down to size! Make sure you double check your measurements and you should be fine!

[@beccasimonsen]

Would I be able to make this reversible?

[@onlinefabricstore]

I guess I don't see why not. You would probably want to sew the pieces together so you don't have to mess with fabric glue (although that would probably work as well) You would most likely be able to see the fabric from the other side when you are wearing it but as long as they are complementary I think that might be really nice.

[@dahliaforbes]

This looks great! I really want to make one for my daughters who are 9 and 6 years old. Can you say how could I customize for a child? Thank you!

[@onlinefabricstore]

Hi Dahlia, The cowl neck/hood would probably work well at the same dimensions as in the video so it's easy to get on and off kids. The nice thing about fleece is you don't have to hem the edges so it's easy to cut smaller after it's made. We'd suggest starting with a rectangle that's a bit smaller than in the video and then you can always cut it down more to be the perfect size for your daughters.

[@dahliaforbes]

@@onlinefabricstore Thank you so much!

How would you increase for someone with a large he Added?

Adjust for someone with a large head.

I made it and love it , but it’s not as long as I like . I’m 5ft 9

[@WeAreWeMajor]

Anyway I can pay to to make me one?

[@onlinefabricstore]

Hi, we do not sell ponchos here or take custom orders. We just provide the fabric, supplies, and tutorial to make it. :)

[@evonnedalton9141]

OnlineFabricStore.net how can I make the poncho longer. I want to use it as a robe.

WeAreWeMajor DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY. THEY WILL NOT SHIP YOUR ORDER AND NEVER RESPONDS TO EMAILS.

[@InTheEndOnlykindnessMatters]

So I google a no sew poncho and out comes a sewing machine 😂😂😂. I can’t even sew with a needle & thread . Can I hot or fabric glue fleece ?

[@onlinefabricstore]

You could use fabric glue!

[@HappyQuailsFarm]

Am I wrong or is it "selvage"?

[@onlinefabricstore]

You're right it's selvage.
