Becca's Assembly Line Poncho

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.
