Mass Effect - Thane/Mordin/Garrus/Tali hoodies

Thane -- Mordin
Garrus -- Tali

*~Tumblr post here!~*

I've been working on these 2 reversible hoodies (so, really, 4 hoodies altogether) for a few months, between other projects/commissions, and I finally finished them!

The designs are by , aka RetroPopSugar (Tumblr/website), a super sweet gal who put the patterns up on Spoonflower. Then I bought the organic cotton knit fabric from SF, cut out the pieces, and assembled them myself. They're really soft and surprisingly warm, and RPS's tutorial videos really helped with all the sewing. (They weren't difficult to put together, just time-consuming! I'd say it's an early intermediate sewing level, mostly because of the sleeves. And just fyi, I used two spools--around 300 yards--of charcoal-gray thread for these.)

My hoodie is reversible Tali/Thane in a women's medium (I just love the crest detail), and Gavin's is Garrus/Mordin in a men's large (with a different crest for Garrus, of course). I had to shorten my hoodie a little because the side seams on Tali's hoodie didn't line up perfectly--I just matched the seams using a little gathering stitch, then took in the 1" of excess fabric from the bottom of Thane's side of the hoodie. It's really not noticeable.

In case you don't have time to watch the videos, or if you just want to know how much work one of these hoodies takes, I made a text tutorial from RPS's videos (and added some details of my own).

Do let me know what you think, and you can contact Retropopsugar herself here. Thanks for looking!
