Hooded Full-Zip Jacket

When To Wear

As a warm top layer at home, for walks and for sport in spring and autumn.
With jeans, joggers or leggings, over a T-shirt or thin knit.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Relaxed, straight body.

Length: To the hip.

Collar: Hood made of two side pieces and a centre panel. The front edge is turned and topstitched to form a channel for an elastic cord, which exits through two buttonholes and ends in cord stoppers.

Front: Separating zipper at the centre front, set between the front edge and the facing; the facing also finishes the neckline and is stitched down at the shoulder seam.

Sleeves: One-piece set-in sleeves with a low shoulder line, hems topstitched.

Pockets: Pocket bags with an interfaced folded welt, placed on the side panels and caught in the seam joining the side panel to the front; the seam is topstitched.

Back: One piece, with side panels at the sides.

Finishing: Seams sewn with a narrow zigzag or stretch stitch; hem and sleeve hems overlocked and topstitched with a twin needle so they stay elastic.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Sewing knit fabric with stretch stitches, a separating zipper with a facing, welt pockets inserted into a panel seam and a drawcord hood.

Fabric Recommendations

Knit fabric with a brushed or terry back: sweatshirt jersey, knit-backed velvet (velour).

Additional Supplies

Fusible interfacing (pocket welts)
1 separating zipper, length to match the front
Elastic cord for the hood
2 cord stoppers

Cutter's Must

Main fabric:
Front - 2 pieces
Back - 1 piece
Sleeve - 2 pieces
Side - 2 pieces
Hood - 2 pieces
Center hood - 1 piece
Facing - 2 pieces
Pocket bag - 4 pieces
Welt - 2 pieces

Tip: To ensure the material remains stretchy in the areas of finished seams, stitch the cut pieces with a narrow zigzag or special stretchy stitch. To keep the bottom edge stretchy, overlock the hem with an overlock stitch, then attach it using a twin needle. The same applies to finishing other edges of the garment that should not lose elasticity. These recommendations do not apply to industrial production.
