I've mentioned recently that my daughter has a slanket and as much as she likes it, she would prefer it if it was more of a hoodie. The length of the slanket, dragging on the floor, annoys her.
This is following on from Lowena's Oodie. I asked my daughter if she'd seen them...yes she has :thumbsup:... and it's reminded her
that I'd said I'd have a look at the slanket for her.
She asked me last Spring, so it's about time I did it.
She gave me her (current) favourite hoodie for general size/length and I've done it (very) roughly to this.
She wanted it as a shorter length, which is a good job because there wouldn't have been enough fabric to cut it any longer than it is.
She has no idea I've done this. She hasn't come downstairs yet.
It's been mainly overlocked together. It's a bit shoddy around the neckline but who cares...not me. I found a large piece of grey jersey in my scrap bags to line the hood with.
She wanted the sleeves to remain as wide as they are but said she might want elastic at the cuffs so that might change.
So this is now going to be known as a sluddie....slanket/hoodie = sloodie?/sluddie.
Sandra.
