For a start let me say I'm a real noob when it comes to sewing. My grandmother bought me a sewing machine a few years ago and I wanted to use it so much but I never really did. I had a few projects like this one (like sewing a pencil case or how to hem a pair of pants for my friend). I never actually sew a clothing. My grandmother loves to sew so every time I needed to know something I always asked her. This time I decided to do everything on "my own".
I went to a fabrics shop looking for a perfect fabric for the hoodie. They had so many so I was just standing there and wondering which fabric to take.

Next step: pattern. I thought this part will be the easiest one but it wasn't. There are so many different patterns online so I couldn't choose. I was googling random stuff like "hoodie pattern/doll hoodie pattern/diy hoodie" ... and decided to use the easiest one. There was also a problem since I was making the hoodie for Agumon who has a bigger head than a doll/person would have. So everything I made was a little bit customised. I was looking at a pattern like
To put all parts together I was watching Melly Sews's video which helped me a lot! Check it out here! I made some changes - for example, Agumon's plush is so small so I didn't made the waistband and the cuffs. I just sew around it so it looks like I actually made it but it's just a stitch. And I also didn't put the front pocket on it because Tai's hoodie doesn't have it either - I was researching that hoodie a lot, haha.

While sewing it I had (obviously) a lot of problems since I didn't use the machine for so long. I didn't use it for so long that I had to google how to start it. At first I was thinking about sewing it by hand but decided to use the machine anyway. My stitches are not really straight but luckily you can't see them a lot to notice it. I also had a problem with the fabric, because at some points it's so thin that my machine sucked it up. That's the reason I had to create the front part of the hoodie twice. So if you decide to sew it too, be careful with the sewing. At first I thought it's gonna be easier since the hoodie is so small and you don't have to actually sew a lot. But since it's so small sometimes I didn't really see what I'm sewing together. In the end I just fixed some stitches by hand and put the red rope through the hoodie - I don't like the material of it so I will probably change it when I find the right material. ((update: I bought red shoelaces and switched the rope with them. They were 120cm long so I cut them and sew endings together - I think it looks better now, more hoodie like))
I also forgot to check the time when I started with it but telling by the pictures I would say I needed 2 hours for the hoodie. Not bad for a beginner (when searching for a pattern I saw a post about making a hoodie and it said "not suitable for beginners" so I was pretty scared of how it will all turn up.) - I'm actually pretty satisfied with the results! I made the hoodie a little bit too small so I had to use a lot of force to put Agumon in it so I guess he will have it on forever. And here are pictures of Agumon in a hoodie from anime and from "real life":
I really enjoyed making it (people who know me know how frustrated I can be when making something and it doesn't go as planned - trying to work on that too) and if you have any questions feel free to ask! Otherwise, see you soon!
