Does anyone know of a pullover hoodie pattern in a misses size. I have searched McCalls & Simplicity & can only find zip up Or patterns with yokes. I want a plain sweatshirt with a hood. The fleece has a lg. print & I don't want to cut into extra pieces. I am going to check Butterick next. If I don't find onee I will try to cut down the one I have but the XL is as big as a 2X. I am worried about cutting it down wrong. Since I have $20 of materiel to cut into I would like the right size to start with. Barb

I found one in Butterick Now I just have to wait to see of the will go on sale soon. I hate to pay $7.50 when they go on sale for .99 or$1.99.

keep an eye on the fabric stores, I have a friend that is from a large town and goes to visit her family about once a month. Since I live in a small town and there are NO actual fabric stores near here, she picked me up about 12 patterns the last time she went and they were on .99 cent sale. I did get a pullover sweatshirt pattern, but it's for little boys so I doubt that would help you. Anyway, good luck!! Charity |

This weekends JoAnns sale has simplicity on sale & next week is Mc Calls but I couldn't find a pattern in either. I have a full pattern cabinet of Patterns & wouldn't you know not one close to the right size. She is a misses size 12. Juniors are always too short & womens are too busty. I might check my kids patterns again. I would rather enlarge than cut down. If I can find an Xlg girls I think I might be able to make it work. Otherwise I will probably break down & buy it anyway. I am sure I will use it more than once.

Have you looked at Kwik Sew patterns? They would be my preference for this type of garment Skye |

Barb, Hancocks by me sells Kwik Sew and Fields Fabric Centers also sells them. If you have none of these close to you let me know and I can pick it up for you and send it on its merry way. Summer

Hancock stores will have Butterick for 99 cents starting around the 18th. I think it lasts until around the 21.

Hi all....a little off the topic but as far as pattern prices go...and fabrics and notions for that matter...there is always my favorite place to shop...eBAY!!!!!! Have gotten some fantastic deals there. Worth checking out.
If I had known that grandchildren were so much fun, I would have had them first!!
