Fling Hoodie Dress
Shop sales are in British Pounds CURRENCY CONVERSION
FLING is a relaxed and roomy hoodie dress with striking features and streetwear vibes. Its voluminous statement double pleat detail sleeves create a dynamic silhouette. We offer two options for the hood – lined which gives the potential to add a contrast fabric or unlined (with bound seams) to keep that soft snuggly brushed fleece feel against your cheeks.
And of course it has pockets. Deep, discreet side pockets, or if your right hand likes to know what your left hand is doing, opt for a comfy kangaroo pocket instead.
We finished off the edgy vibe with a unique high-low hem, that’s straight at the front and rounded at the back, resulting in an intriguing view from the back and sides.
Easy to sew and easy to wear, just fling it on over tights or leggings and you’re good to go.
Fabric recommendations
Medium to heavyweight sweatshirt fleece, French terry, ponte, scuba or anything similar, it doesn’t need to have much stretch. Bear in mind if your fabric is too floppy the pleats in the sleeves will not stand out.
Jersey or similar for the hood lining (optional). We used Fleece Back Sweatshirt Stretch Knit (taupe) and Brushed Fleece Back Sweatshirt Stretch Knit (dusty blue) both from from Minerva.

Pair your shorties with our close-fitting, classic camisole – the everyday, year-round, versatile essential. Wear on its own in the warm weather or as a layer beneath your Hug Hoodie during the colder months.

Rest Vest for ADULTS
Shop sales are in British Pounds CURRENCY CONVERSION
The extremely versatile Rest Vest is a gorgeous, cleverly constructed, easy to wear garment with angled seamlines that lends itself to colour-blocking. The unique back detail flatters the shoulders and creates a statement silhouette.
Can be worn just as easily for sweaty workouts as it can for nights out with friends, chilling at the beach or for bed with our indispensable Go Shorties.
The Rest Vest is available in two fits:
RELAXED FIT
Unlike the close-fit Rest Vest, the relaxed-fit Rest Vest flows at the hips.
CLOSE FIT
A noticeably narrower cut than our relaxed-fit Rest Vest, to ensure nothing gets in the way when you workout. The additional panels at the sides give you the opportunity to use up small left-over pieces of fabric.
Fabric recommendations
- Light to medium weight jersey, something with a bit of drape works well like a viscose/elastane or a technical sportswear jersey.
- A poly/cotton or 100% cotton single jersey will be fine, as long as it’s a lighter weight so it has a bit of drape.
You should be able to stretch the fabric by a minimum of 20% and it should snap back to its original size after stretching.
ALSO AVAILABLE IN TEEN SIZES

Eight Tee
Shop sales are in British Pounds CURRENCY CONVERSION
NEW
Eight is a relaxed-fit, drapey, sleeveless tee with a round neck and shoulder pads. That’s right, shoulder pads – an eighties trend with a fresh twist. We’ve added structure to the shoulder to create a powerful, but soft silhouette as a subtle nod to the eighties. But don’t worry, there’s no need to be searching the shops for ready-made shoulder pads, where’s the fun in that? For this pattern, you get to make the shoulder pads yourself, wooo hooo!!!
Never thought you’d be wearing shoulder pads again (or ever)? Well, don’t knock it till you try it. You’ll be surprised at how great the Eight Tee will look on you and what’s more how unbelievably fierce you will feel. But don’t worry, if you really don’t want to go down that road, just leave the shoulder pads out, it may not be as powerful but it will still be beautiful.
Team your Eight Tee with a pair of jeans and trainers or smart trousers and heels and you’re good to go.
Fabric recommendations
Single jersey:
- cotton or cotton/elastane
- bamboo or bamboo/elastane
- viscose or viscose/elastane
- modal jersey
- Tencel jersey
Eight Tee looks particularly gorgeous made in fabric with a good drape. We recommend bamboo jersey from Sister Mintaka.
You should be able to stretch your fabric by a minimum of 20% and it should snap back to its original size after stretching.
