Reba hoodie
Reba is a straight-cut, loose-fitting hoodie. It features front and back decorative insets and a back yoke. The inserts can be made from a different material, such as rib knit, or from the same fabric as the rest of the garment. The standing collar continues into a double-layer hood that has a drawstring casing. The hoodie closes with a partial front zipper that stops at the bust level. The long, loose-fitting shirt sleeves are finished with cuffs. Reba is waist-length.
Approximate sewing time – 1 day (8 hours).

The rib knit fabric is soft and medium-stretch. The fiber content is a blend of 95% cotton and 5% spandex. The fabric weight is 440 g/m2.
Important! If you can't find a rib knit that matches your main fabric, you can also sew the entire hoodie from one type of fabric.

- sewing machine for construction
- overlocker for construction and finishing raw edges. It can be replaced with a stretch overlock stitch or a zigzag stitch on the sewing machine (overlock or zigzag stitch width 2–3 mm, stitch length 2.5 mm)

Important! We recommend using specialty needles when working with knit fabrics (for example, STRETCH, SUPER STRETCH, JERSEY, etc.). These are ballpoint needles, so they part the threads of the fabric you are stitching rather than piercing them.
