Does it matter what fabric you use?
Knit Fabric.
It is the spandex material used in anything with an elasticity to it. You can get ALL kinds of different variations. You can even use an Old T-shirt you have laying around.
Hope I helped,

Can you buy any fabric you want at a store like Walmart?
Sure, WalMart has a lot of fabrics, just look for something like a knit fabric.
Walmart has fabrics?
Some of the Supercenters have a craft & fabric section, but a lot of areas phased this out. It’s worth looking, especially since fabric remnants are usually just the right amount to make doll-sized projects or scrap quilts with, and Wal-Mart fabric/remnant prices are ridiculously low. (Yes, I do check the remnants bin.)
The selection isn’t as good as most fabric stores, though, and as always, the remnants bin is sort of a crap-shoot.
What kind of fabric should i use like fleece , regular , cotton , what ?
Knit Fabric.
It is the spandex material used in most Human-hoodies.

one of my favorite patterns, love the versatility. Looks great in thicker jersey material or thin t-shirt fabric as well. Hoodies are so trendy right now!!
I really hope that this pattern will be kind of easy for a beginner like me. My dolls get so cold when im not around!!
I’m going to get a gift card so I can buy Liberty Jane clothing and patterns and wait tell Christmas and then sew the clothing (I’m going to get either a lai doll or a sewing machine from my dad or my mom… I hope I get a sewing machine!)
Where can I find the little separating 5 inches zippers?
Can I cut the top of a longer zipper?
here’s a link to a zipper store online: http://www.Zipperthatdoll.com/
There is a etsy.com store called Zipit they have all sorts of colors and styles
This jacket looks A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!!
I’m SUPER excited to make this! I bought the pattern a while ago, but I forgot about it(whoops…) but, I found an old hoodie of mine, so I got inspired!
I read the instructions, and they seem really simple and easy to follow! I think that anyone who wants to make this, being an expert or a beginner sewer, can make this hoodie!

So far, my hoodie is going GREAT, but I had to stop near the end because I don’t have the zipper yet.
But, we’re getting one today, so it should be fine.
I’ve spent about two hours total in sewing, but that’s probably just because my sewing machine kept getting jammed up at some of the thicker seams; such as at the bottom ribbing.

Hi,
I was so thrilled when I bought this pattern, I have a few of my daughters old hoodies around so I used one of them for this pattern, I must say it was pretty easy to follow, I made a few mistakes on it so you can tell it was one of my first patterns! lol! oh well! only thing i had trouble with is the hood with the zipper, gonna have to try this one again!!
I would ove to see this in a cotton/spandex materials in patriot flag pattern!
I’d love to see this made in that fuzzy Sherpa fabric that is so popular right now.
about how many inches long should the zipper be?
Hi Alenaa, The zipper used for this project is a 6 inch separating zipper. You can find them here: http://www.zipperthatdoll.com/dolljacketzippers.html
Do u have to do it with a zipper and can u add pockets?
Sure, you can do it with out the zipper, you’d just hem the front sides. Libby made one like that, you can see it on her blog here: http://moddollmag.wordpress.com/2010/12/12/my-dolls-new-outfit/
looks sooooo cute
XD
oops i did not see that there were pockets!
I just want to say thx for working hard to make all the patterns. U r AWESOME.
Hi Julia, Thanks for the kind words! That made my day

I’d love to see this made in a teal and black knit fabric to match my husband’s favorite hockey team colors.
I love this jacket. I think it’s adorable!!
I made this pattern with a multi colored pokadot fabric, its too cute, looks like something they would sell at justice in the mall.
this is so pretty and stylish
What was the name of the site, to get the zippers? My local JoAnns doesn’t have them.
Is this a hard pattern? I want to get this soon but I am worried it will be too hard.
