The Scroop Instagram has been very historical of late, so here's a reminder that I also make modern patterns, including the cool, quirky, and extremely useful #otarihoodie.⁠ ⁠ I aim to make both my modern and historical sewing patterns detailed and accessible, so you can achieve a beautiful finish no matter what you're sewing 💛⁠ ⁠ #scrooppatterns #sewingknits #sewingtips #sewingzippers #memadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewyourownslowfashion #indiepatterndesigner #sewists #patterndesigner #patterndesign #sewingpatterns #sewingpatterndesigner #sewcialists #isew #ilovesewing #indiesewing #indiepatterns

Spent the day wearing an Otari Hoodie, participating in the first public tree planting of the winter tree planting season. 🌱🌲🌳 It's so fulfilling to know that one day what we planted will be a forest! 🌱🌲🌳⁠ .⁠ The Otari may not be the most glamorous Scroop Pattern, but it's the one I wear most in my daily life. Making it myself means at least I can have fun fabrics and cool pockets and the perfect fit, which is pretty awesome, if not technically glamorous! 😉⁠ .⁠ The Otari Hoodie Pattern, like all the other Scroop Patterns, is on sale for just a few hours more!⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #scrooppatterns #otarihoodie #sewingknits #slowfashion #sewyourownslowfashion #costumersforclimateaction #memadeeveryday #sewing #sewingfun #sewinglove #indiepatterndesigner #sewists #sewingpatterns #sewingpatterndesigner #indiesewing

In addition to comprehensive instructions, the #otarihoodiesewalong has all the details on making an absolutely beautiful version of the hoodie for yourself. 💛⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The Sew-Along is linked at the bottom of the pattern page - it's always worth scrolling alllllllllll the way down on the pattern pages on ScroopPatterns.Com to see what fun things are linked in the 'Tutorials and Pattern Hacks' section! 😁⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #otarihoodie #sewingtips #scrooppatterns ⁠⠀

Flashback to summer and photos of my @scrooppatterns #otarihoodie I used the same fabric as was used for the sample versions. #itsnotcopyingitsflattery Those eagle-eyed folks will notice I’m also wearing a #scrooppatterns #fantailskirt 😃

The weather in Wellington can't decide if it's summer or not. One day it's sunny and warm, the next windy and chilly. So I've been wearing Otari Hoodie's a lot! Warm, comfy, and with awesome front pockets! ⁠ .⁠ Not only does the pattern have fabulously detailed instructions, but there is a sew-along on my blog with even more tips and tricks..⁠ .⁠ Get your own pattern at scrooppatterns.com - just follow the Linkin Link in my bio, and then click on this image again.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #scrooppatterns #otarihoodie #scroopotari #sewingknits #memadeeveryday #sewingtips #sewing #sewingfun #sewinglove #memadewardrobe #indiepatterndesigner #sewists #patterndesigner #patterndesign #sewingpatterns #sewingpatterndesigner #sewcialists #isew #ilovesewing #sewinglife #sewingblogger #indiesewing

Thank you to everyone who bought a pattern in the sale! We can't wait to see all your creations from your new patterns!⁠ ⁠ Now to turn all out attention to the finishing details of the next pattern… 😄⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #scrooppatterns #otarihoodie

Some sewing inspiration for those of you dealing with winter.

Doing a little weekend mending. My very first Otari Hoodie developed holes in the elbows, so I’ve applied patches of the original fabric and wrestled the sleeves around under the machine to stitch them on. Tricky, but so satisfying to keep a well made garment going for another few years as my gardening and tramping hoodie! For me making is not just about the creation process, but about respecting what goes into my makes: good materials, and my own valuable time. #mending #scrooppatterns #otarihoodie #wastenotwantnot #zerowastewardrobe #slowfashion

I forgot to take a picture earlier, so you get today's #mmmay2020 pic in my pjs. While I was cold today at work, I wore my #otarihoodie by #scrooppatterns - I was a tester for this and I still love the one I made and carry it in my backpack all the time. I made mine in an Amy Butler cotton interlock, so it's not super heavy. Perfect for the occasional chill! #memademay #memademay2020 #imakemyclothes @scrooppatterns

@soyunamujerfeliz and I worked so hard to get this photo of the #otarihoodie right. She either toppled over, or her hood fell oddly, or the sun went behind the clouds on so many of our attempts. 🤣 But we prevailed in the end! ⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ This is View B of the Hoodie pattern, which features a whimsical pointed hood, and fun art-deco inspired pockets. ⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #scrooppatterns #sewingknits #memadewardrobe #sewing #sewingfun #sewinglove #indiepatterndesigner #indiepatterns #sewingpatterns #sewingpatterndesigner #isew #ilovesewing #sewinglife #sewingblogger #indiesewing

Continuing on the pattern countdown, #7 is the Otari Hoodie!⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ If you'd told me in June 2017 that I was going to end up designing a hoodie pattern from Scroop, I wouldn't have believed you. I'd never worn a hoodie, and they were so…modern! ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ But then I borrowed one of Mr D's hoodies for a walk, and fell in love. I went looking for a pattern to make one for me, and realised that there wasn't one on the market that had the size range of Scroop Patterns, or the attention to detail and finish that I like to give to my sewing.⁠⠀💛 .⁠⠀ So a few weeks later, I had a pattern for me. And after some finessing and adjustments I had a pattern for you. ⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ And I'm obsessed with them. I have 5 Otari Hoodies in my own wardrobe, and wear them all the time: they are warm and snuggly and have fabulous pockets that fit cameras and wallets and pretty pebbles and bird feathers and even small books.⁠⠀🦜 .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #scrooppatterns #otarihoodie #sewingknits #sewingzippers #memadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewing #sewingfun #sewinglove #indiepatterndesigner #sewists #sewyourown #slowfashion #patterndesigner #patterndesign #sewingpatterns #sewingpatterndesigner #sewcialists #isew #ilovesewing #sewinglife #sewingblogger #indiesewing #indiepatterns #memade #sew

*New Blog Post* It’s fall!!!! Hoodie Weather!!! And, in honor of that, I’ve finally gotten around to blogging about the Slytherin hoodie I made my brother @0mega_27 - because sometimes you just need Muggle clothes to wear.

I was video chatting with my sister the other day, and she suddenly realised I was wearing a hoodie. Somehow she managed to miss the part where I 1) started wearing hoodies and 2) launched a hoodie pattern!⁠ ⁠ So yeah. I make corset patterns and elaborate historical patterns, and make hoodie patterns. And I wear them all too! 🤣⁠ ⁠ The Otari Hoodie is a darn good hoodie pattern too - great pockets, fabulous finishes, and a fit that's relaxed without being sloppy. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #scrooppatterns #otarihoodie #sewingknits #knitpatterns #indiepatterncompany

It’s just this time of year back in 2018 that I launched the #otarihoodie and it’s still the perfect garment for these transitional seasons. I’ll be wearing an Otari all weekend as I go for walks in @visit_zealandia and plant my spring bulbs and hang out with friends and do a little house maintenance in anticipation of winter. What are you up to over the weekend? #scrooppatterns #sewinghoodies #indiesewingpattern #sewingwithknits

The Otari Hoodie is 95% machine sewn, but there's just a few little places where a tiny bit of hand finishing gives a really polished finish. ⁠ ⁠ My aim with sewing, and sewing patterns, is to help people get a finish that's 'better than boughten'. If you're making something for yourself you should be able to make something that looks better than a mass-produced item!⁠ ⁠ In addition to detailed instructions, the Otari Hoodie pattern has a full sew-along. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #scrooppatterns #otarihoodie #sewingknits #memadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewing #sewingfun #slowfashion #sewyourownslowfashion #indiepatterndesigner #sewists #patterndesigner #patterndesign #sewingpatterns #sewingpatterndesigner #sewcialists #indiesewing #indiepatterns #memade #sew

The Otari Hoodie is perfect for autumn and spring frolics on the beach. .⠀ Unfortunately for me, for the last 24 hours it's been perfect (if anything can fit that description) for wearing with pyjamas while huddling under a blanket on the couch with a box of tissues and a bad cold. ⠀ .⠀ This has held up the Otari Hoodie Sew Along by a day, but we'll be back on track later today, with a new post about sewing prep.
