Hoodie Sewing Patterns | DRCOS Patterns & How To Make

This is a sewing pattern and instructions for a hoodie that uses an open-end zipper.

The pattern is designed for cosplay costumes, so it has a structure without lining.

If you want to use this pattern for regular clothing, please draft additional lining pieces by removing the facing area from the main pattern.

The pockets in this pattern are simple. If you prefer bag-style pockets, please draft pocket bag pieces and use them instead.

Since this is an unlined design, please finish the armhole area with self-made bias tape.

After printing, align the joining marks, tape the sheets together, and cut out the pattern. Seam allowances are already included, so you can use the pattern as it is.

What are “Grainline” and “Cut on fold”? Please refer to this page.

(1) Sew the darts on the front body and press the seam allowances downward with an iron.

*Children’s sizes 100(4) and 120(8), and all men's sizes do not have darts, so this step is not needed.

(2) Serge/overlock the sides and shoulders of the front and back body, sew them together with a sewing machine, and press the seam allowances open with an iron.

(3) Apply interfacing to the front and back facings, sew them together with a sewing machine, and press the seam allowances open with an iron.

(4) Serge/overlock the outer edge of the facings.

(5) Serge/overlock the outer edges of the hood and sew the hood together with a sewing machine. Then serge/overlock the front edge, fold it inward, and sew with a sewing machine.
