In my case, I have a square blanket, made from two pieces that I sewed together, turned right side out, and topstitched. The square is folded so that when worn, it makes a triangle if the child holds their arms out (point of the triangle at the bottom). Hope that makes sense. <br />I'm having problems with the hood. As per the instructions, I cut a slit through both layers of fabric,sandwiched the hood between, and then went around tucking the fabric edges under & pinning. It works OK on across the back of the hood & across the front, but where it crosses over the shoulders it's impossible to get the fabric to lie flat. The ends of the slits in the inner & outer fabric simply won't turn under to the same depth as the rest of the slit without bunching up, a lot. Has anyone else had this problem? Would it work better if I cut an oval/circle instead of the slit? <br />I'm a bit afraid to try cutting an oval/circle now... will the hole be too big if I had already cut a slit wide enough for the hood?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200232607487592937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7150800728118924233.post-72822704751048476572016-01-27T12:32:33.504-08:002016-01-27T12:32:33.504-08:00This was a great Poncho tutorial.

I wanted a closed hem at the bottom and to add a zipper. Putting in zippers allowed me to better control the size of the neckline. Based on this, I cut my outer layer (blanket cloth) to the desired sized circle based on the age of the child, and the inner layer (fleece). I used a CD to cut the neck openings. I then cut a straight line from the neck to the outer edge on both the outer and lining fabrics of the poncho. I added the zipper to the outer fabric, and machine sewed the remaining seam closed. On the lining, I sewed a seam the same length as the seam corresponding with the outer layer, leaving it open where it matched the zipper length. I then sewed the outer and lining bottom edges together, trimming excess where necessary, and notching material so that the round edges laid flat. After flipping and ironing, I top-stitched these edges. I then folded in and pinned the open part of the cut edge of the lining to the inside of the zipper edges, and machine stitched these into place. I hand basted the both layers of the hood (to gather), to ease the hood into place on the poncho; then pinned and machine sewed it into place, in between the outer layer and lining of the poncho body. I then folded a seam allowance and hand sewed the lining of the poncho to the lining of the hood. Once completed, I finished by top-stitching with the machine along the whole neck opening. Done and done!!!

Why, yes I did! But I didn't mention the seam allowance. At any rate, I solved my uneven edges issue - I used a big half circle of cardboard on a fold to make my circles and it turned out my half circle was not exactly perfect all around. I made a better template to deal with that.

Cut the hole, "open" the layers of the poncho and stick the hood in between the layers, sew. Then same for the front half. Glad to see that someone else has used this method before I try it! I like not having any raw edges, and having everything tucked in neatly. <br /> I plan to hem the outer edges together and then tuck them to the inside (between layers) and topstitch for neatness.
