I loved how easy it was to print out the pattern for the Halifax Hoodie. In her instructions, she told provided details on how you can print out the EXACT size you wanted to cut out. This simple feature is a time saver when you’re cutting out pages upon pages of a pattern.


Sewing Instructions for View C of the Halifax Hoodie
The instructions provided detailed information and a sketch for each step, so you could follow along and reference. This pattern has five pattern views: hood, kangaroo pocket, full zipper front, front notch and a funnel neck.
Included in the PDF document are instructions for the 5 different pattern views. Each pattern views shares steps with another. As a result, you to bounce back and forth between pages in the document while you’re sewing your sweatshirt. I would have loved if there were separate instructions for each pattern view.
Pattern Modifications
The pattern measurements are ideal for anyone who is between 5’5” – 5’8”. I am 5’4” so the sweatshirt is long on me, but I love the length.
For my zip-up hoodie, I sewed a size small, but next time I might consider making an extra small. I love how my sweatshirt turned out, but it wasn’t a form fitting as I would like.
The only modification I made to the pattern was to take in the shoulders and arms. There was too much bulk in the shoulders, and the sleeves were too long for my body. To fix this, I took in the shoulder seam by an inch and the sleeves by two inches to reduce bulk.
