Making a hoodie - using Burda Pattern 7734

It was recently my husband's birthday and because he is not only very hard to buy for but because I don't have that many funds lately I decided to make him a hoodie with some grey fleece I had bought years ago!

Here is the pattern - how crazy and cool do the guys look on the cover? Hehehe

When I went to get a zip - I saw this awesome skulls material which I couldn't resist. Perfect for the inside of the hood and the pockets!!!

Now I have used this pattern once before to make myself a hoodie and I found how the ribbing edge quite complicated. For this hoodie, I instead increased the length of the ribbing and sewed it all the way to the front hood edge as below

The rest of the hoodie is pretty straight forward to construct. The one thing I will change for next time is not sew the bottom edge of the pockets onto the hoodie front before sewing the ribbing on. I don't think you can tell from the picture, but I think it makes the bottom edge of the hoodie look a bit messy!

Here is the finished product on my husband!!
