Notes I finished this hoodie up on March 9th. I’m still not sure if I like it or not. I like some parts, do not care for others. This is my first Lekala sew.
reduced the hood by 3” in height. I added pockets to the front because no hoodie should be without pockets! To do this I just cut another front pouch section, top-stitched the sides down and sewed it like normal with the other piece. Also, the bottom hem band was enormously tall. I shortened the height by almost half.

    This pattern is on my sewing list. I was disappointed to realize it did not have pockets so thank you for the tip on how to include a pocket on the front. Yours looks great.

    I think you look fabulous. I made this for Elsa, and then I inherited it and now Liddy is wearing it. It is a quirky look but we love it!

    Nice job, I agree with you about the pockets (in fact, no outer garment should be without pockets!) Your contrast fabrics look really good together :)
    I could not make this one without altering the zipper position as I have an aversion to asymmetry :(
