Staff Make — Becca's Assembly Line Poncho
May 19 2023

A fully reversible outerwear garment is no small #MeMade project, and our Online Store team member Becca finished this make beautifully. She used the Hoodie Poncho from Swedish indie pattern brand The Assembly Line, a one-size-fits-many pattern with loads of functional details. Read on for photos and customisation info from Becca!

Project Details

Roomy enough to be worn over any outfit whenever the weather calls for it, the Hoodie Poncho pattern features lots of pockets, a generous hood and slide splits for bike riding. It can also be packed down into its own pocket! Becca used 4.75m of our Lightweight Showerproof Poly, plus 4.75m of Liberty Excel Twill - Manning / X for the lining. The alterations to make this one-size-fits-all-garment fit your size perfectly are simple and clearly explained clearly in the manual provided with the pattern. Becca took about 20cm off the hem to bring it up to calf-length, as well as shortening the total length to fit her 5'2 height. This pattern doesn't have instructions to make it reversible, so Becca made a series of alterations to enable the functionality. We think it looks incredible! Liberty fabrics offer a fun way to add colour or print to an otherwise plain outer, and this mountainous Manning print is perfect for a winter-ready poncho.

Assembly Line recommends this pattern would suit an intermediate sewist, which Becca agrees with! She noted that without the complexity of her adjustments to allow it to be reversible, the pattern is actually quite simple to assemble. This is a garment that will last Becca a lifetime with good care, and we're super impressed with the finished result. Her addition of metal dome closures were all done with the help of local business Nickel and Young.

"The instructions were clear and the diagrams are helpful, plus they also give tips and options with construction and seam finishes which allows you to decide how to finish it".

"I was unsure how challenging the shower proof fabrics would be to work with and pleasantly surprised once you get your iron at the right temperature, your seams press out really crisp and the finish looks excellent!"
