Alberta is a very lucky sister. That hoodie is gorgeous and one of a kind. Will be very handy as well as stylish during those Missouri winters.

Great makeover Sandra! What a perfect idea to make that fabric into something that can be worn on a more regular basis. Beautiful and comfy, too. Love it!

Thank you. I remember this morning that I also have a purple velvet dress with long sleeves. Not silk velvet, but will make a good hoodie!

Lucky you! That sounds like a winner, too! ✨😊

Oh, I love it, Sis! I’m so glad I bought that dress, even though….

Thank you so much. It will be a toss up which I wear more, velvet hoodie or cashmere poncho. ❤️❤️

When it's really cold you can wear them both. ha. This is going to look so good on you. Once you have it, and it's cool enough to put on, please send pix.

Ooooh, I can just imagine how incredibly *luxurious* that hoodie feels! (But I can't imagine sewing a long zipper into that velvet and keeping it STRAIGHT.) Great project, Sandra!
