Join Lulu Ferris to watch the complete class and sew along at your own pace.
What you’ll make
Sew an oversized wearable blanket with a generous hood, long sleeves, and a large kangaroo pocket. The roomy, longline shape is designed for lounging and is available for children and adults.
What you’ll learn in this class
- Handle plush, bulky fabrics with suitable test stitches.
- Prepare and attach the optional kangaroo pocket.
- Join the shoulders, set the sleeves flat, and close the side seams.
- Assemble and attach the hood from the center back to the front.
- Finish the cuffs with a plain hem, serged edge, or elastic casing.
- Check and adjust the body length before hemming.
Fabric and supplies
Warm fabrics such as coral fleece, polar fleece, or sherpa suit the blanket version. French terry can create a lighter, oversized sweatshirt.
Plush fabrics may shed and feed differently from one machine to another. Test the stitch length and presser-foot options on scraps before sewing the project.
Make it your own
Omit the pocket for a simpler front, adjust the body length for the wearer, and choose a plain hem, serged finish, or elastic casing for the cuffs.
Use coordinating fabric for the Tokyo Slippers or boot-style slippers to make a matching lounge set.
Sizes
Kids’ patterns span ages 3 to 14. Adult patterns span sizes 34 to 56, grouped as 34/36/38, 40/42/44, 46/48/50, and 52/54/56.
The class includes separate kids’ and adult pattern files in home-printable A4 and copy-shop A0 formats.
