Klara – Kids’ Long Hoodie or Sweat Dress with Hood or Wrap Collar

Sew a cozy long hoodie or sweat dress for your child with the “Klara” sewing pattern – including hood and wrap collar options, and an optional kangaroo pocket.

“Klara” can be made as a mid-thigh length hoodie or a knee-length sweat dress. The sporty kangaroo pocket adds comfort and style, and is great for little hands.

You can sew it from a single fabric or create contrast by using different fabrics for the cuffs, hood/collar lining and pocket. The pattern also includes a simplified hood (add-on) that can be sewn without lining – perfect for quick projects or using up scraps.
This pattern is only available in German. If you need an English translation, please contact me before purchasing!
