Scoodie in The Hoodie
August 25th, 2011
Today’s the big day… my project day at camp for Lizzy’s 1001 Peeps Summer Camp! This year I’m making a scoodie (scarf + hoodie) to go along with my last year’s Dragon Slayer Satchel. This year my project is Scoodie in The Hoodie - scarf + hoodie all rolled into one, and fabric can be purchased at Sew,Mama,Sew! Yardage will yield: one adult 12″ or one large kiddie 10″ and one small 8″ or medium 9″ kiddie sized Scoodie’s. Mix and match.
Yardage:
1 yard outer fabric
1 yard liner fabric
10″ strip for prairie points
1. Cut six 4″ and six 5″ squares for prairie points. For each square, fold over (wrong sides together) diagonally, and press. Fold over diagonally again, and press. 4″ prairie points are for small and medium kiddie Scoodies, and 5″ prairie points are for adult and large kiddie Scoodies.
2. Lay out your yardage of outer fabric, fold wrong sides together selvedge to selvedge.
3. Cutting on the length, cut two 12″ units and two 8″ units. Repeat with liner fabric. *For a kiddie medium size, cut your fabrics in 9″ strips, kiddie large size cut in 10″ strips, so on and so forth, and tell two friends and they’ll tell two friends…
4. Pin two 12″ units at an end (to from one long 2 yard strip). Watch your directional print, and pin rooftops at the top. Repeat with liner fabric, and 8″ units.
5. Place 3 prairie points to each end of the strip, and layer outer and liner units, right sides together with the prairie points tucked neatly inside. Pin.
6. Leave about a 3″ opening (between red and green pins in photo) for turning about an inch from the center seam, and stitch around all four sides.
7.
Trim corners off, turn and press.
8.
Fold unit over in half on center, outer side together. Measure the length of the your center seam, and that will be your side seam’s stitching length to form the hoodie.
9.
Stitch a ⅛” seam from the hoodie’s tip/pointy part to your marked point. Your stitching will also close your turning opening.
10.
Go forth and live the scoodie life.

Farting around with needle & thread and then blogging about it.
Pretty! Love the fabric you used. Should get hold of some (o:
August 25th, 2011I’ll make the small one for my Scoodie (Bibi).
that is wonderful (you look like a wizardess!)
This is a great project. I’m going to make one of these darlins just for me … I’m an umbrellaphobe which isn’t great for rainy UK! (inconsiderate people + pointy spokes make me angry) I always wear wider scarves so that I can be-hood myself.
Now, if our rioters had been wearing these maybe they would have just been milling about complimenting each other on fabric choice and straight seams, rather than looting and burning.
(I know it’s a serious issue, but sometimes you just gotta let go of the things you can’t do anything about)
Anyway, I’m going to start the trend in Brighton …

August 26th, 2011Ooh I am definitely a hood person but you can’t have a hood on all your clothes and you also don’t want to be mistaken for a looter xD. I should definitely make one of these, so pretty!
August 26th, 2011Lol! This is such a cute project :-) You look very dashing in your hood; fit to fight trolls, orks, and british chavs alike.
August 26th, 2011Monica!! My Hero!!!! You’ve done it yet again. I LOVE this!! I will definitely be making one of these. It will be GREAT for my long walks up the side walk to my office. Why they ever designed the building they way they did is beyond my pea brain, but we call it the walk of death. You’re lucky to make it to the door in the freezing Iowa winters and in the summer, you loose about 10 lbs just walking from your car to the door with the sun pounding down and sucking every bit of moisture out of you. Hhhhmmm….I guess loosing the 10 lbs is something I shouldn’t complain about. LOL But at least I know this winter I’ll be warm and stylin with my Scoodie! :o)
August 26th, 2011Loved the Scoodie - what a great idea and stylish too!
I think a little Monster gift card holder would look great sewn on the bottom near the prairie points.
Good job Monica - you look cute in your Scoodie and your puppy does too!
August 26th, 2011Okay that is too cute, you are too :) I may have to make some of these for the kids! They’d love them.
August 26th, 2011I LOVE this! What a fantastic idea. I definitely need a scoodie or two. Maybe with a nice minkee lining for winter? Thanks for sharing it with us!
August 26th, 2011Definitely adding this to my “back to school” project pile. The kidlets will LOVE these!
August 26th, 2011Love the idea of using minkee for the lining. Perfect for winter walks along the river. Oooooh I’m gonna be styling.
August 26th, 2011That is just too stinkin’ adorable. Thank you.
August 26th, 2011Adorable! And looks easy too. I am soooo ready for an easier sewing project. Thanks again for sharing with us, Monica.
August 26th, 2011Cracks me up! You look much happier than the dog to be sporting this ensemble. ;-)
August 26th, 2011I’m going to have to start hating you if you can’t just cut back a bit on how darn clever you are. Darnit. Pace yourself. xo???
And omg how cute is the your sweet dog living the life?
August 26th, 2011HILARIOUS! The expression on your puppers’ face … “When is she going to take this thing off me? I’m not auditioning for Merlin or Gandalph, am I?”
You, on the other hand, look like you’re ready to brew a big batch of crafting love potion. :)
August 26th, 2011wow I blinked and I saw gandalf for a minute there lol NOT that I am comparing you to an old man but that you look quite fetchingly magical because didn’t everyone have a bit of a crush on gandalf?!
August 26th, 2011That is TOTALLY cool! I must make one. Some. Christmas presents!
August 26th, 2011My Siberian Huskies would like to know what you bribed your Golden with to get her/him to pose so nicely. :)

Ohhh, I think I am going to try this, but I’ll add a perpendicular seam in the back so that the hood doesn’t poke. That always makes me want to a tad postal, knowing it’s sticking straight out from the back of my head.
August 26th, 2011do the 2 of you have matching ones?? How ADORABLE!
August 26th, 2011How fun is this? I think I need to make them for my kids and my dog!
August 26th, 2011The picture of the dog was priceless…
August 26th, 2011I love the gnomie-ness of this! I;m making one tonight!
August 26th, 2011So cute and just last Sunday my sweet 3 yr old granddaughter told me she loved hoodies! Just today I got yards of 1001 Peeps but its for her purple quilt. Sigh…she moved to a big girl bed 2 weeks ago.
August 26th, 2011o m g. tomorrow I’m getting up extra early to make this!!!! I have like, NO yardage (strictly fq kinda gal) but if I don’t make this like, NOW I’m going to implode!!!! Why are you the cutest EVER???
August 26th, 2011OMG, I wish you could have heard my sheer enthusiasm as I realized the possibilities…
August 26th, 2011My bf may not speak to me for a couple hours. He may or may not have thought a relative died…
Inspired! I love your cozy-eared canine model ;)
August 26th, 2011I like that a lot and the color suits you to a t…
August 28th, 2011Monica, this is the cutest invention ever; you always amazing me with your fab creations. I miss you dearly ♥
August 28th, 2011Oh how sweet! How did I not know you had a golden?!? Her(?) coloring is so much like my Casey’s was. Obviously I don’t pay close enough attention. :)
August 28th, 2011You’re a funny girl Ms. Monica! That’s too cute. Now, if you’ll make one in Red, you’ll look just like that little girl and maybe a big bad wolf will chase you — which, I’m sure, would be very fun and exciting!
August 29th, 2011Leave it to you to come up with something so cute! And you look adorable. :)
August 29th, 2011THAT is adorable–and so are you! I like your first “model” too–tres chic!!
August 29th, 2011Very creative idea! This is my first visit to your blog. Healthy! I will return…
Have a super day!

August 30th, 2011Beautiful doggie looks put out to have his/her dignity toyed with. You, on the other hand, look cute and Happy, Ms. H.Z. Your idea is cute and clever, which seems reduntant to talk about when it comes to your designs.
August 30th, 2011I just LOVE that dog !! AND his Scoodie !!! What a BRILLIANT IDEA !!!
September 1st, 2011You are BEE_OO_TI_FUL!!! I’m thinking I might need one of these! I read your ‘profile’ in APNQ and you are too cool for words! We chatted about you down at Center Diamond and we all decided you were QUEEN OF ASTORIA!!!! Thanks for the ‘tute’…
September 1st, 2011Holy Shmoley. I have on my project “to-do” list, “figure out a pattern for a scarf with a hoodie” Guess I can cross that one off the list!! Thanks for doing my work for me. YOU ARE THE BOMB. Love ya through the www
September 1st, 2011Oooh - some clever person upthread posted how Gnome-y these are. YES! Gonna use some Holiday Happy for this one. :)
September 1st, 2011How fun! The fabrics are great, and since I’m always cold, even in the house, I see a great future for me and this pattern. Thanks for sharing :)
September 2nd, 2011gah! super adorableness! i just love 1001 peeps and i just love the scoodie you made with it.
September 2nd, 2011how the heck did I miss this? I want that dog in a scoodie. Please send him over right away.
September 3rd, 2011You dear dear soul. You have the most wonderful ideas and are always so generous to share. As with many others who have written…I have been in need of ‘just the right thing’ and this dear Monica is IT. We are older…and not very ‘mobile’…and this is perfect for myself and my dear Mommie. Her 89th is in November and she is going to get an everyday model and a Christmas model. If I am able I will make her a Fall/Autumn one. So, if you find yourself in….Solano County…..this Winter keep your eye out for two little ladies walking side by side with canes…proudly displaying their new HOODIES a la Monica.
September 3rd, 2011Thankyou once again for your generous spirit.
Great tutorial! So cute!! My son was just running around the house with a long piece of fabric from stash making his on version of this. He would be thrilled if I actually made this with a hood.
