After what feels like months, I've finally finished the hoodie I've been working on for my sister, the Bernat Softee Chunky jacket. It's main shortcoming is that the jacket is, in fact, a little short -- the torso could be a little longer -- but aside from that, I'm really happy with how it turned out. I sewed the zipper on and everything! I spent so much time on this one that in the end, I couldn't be bothered to even make pockets for the jacket. Oh well; I'll probably just end up making another (longer) one for my sister anyway some day far in the future when I'm not sick of this hoodie anymore.
I actually find seaming the hardest part of the entire process but am pleased with what I managed to do. Hopefully I'll remember the skills and techniques I learned on this project for future ones!
Since I spent so much time on that project, I'm now tackling something I hope will be much quicker: Knucks. I've already got one hand down and am halfway through its companion. Originally this was going to be for my other sister but she has since changed her request to something more like Podster gloves, so I'll move on to those next.
