Vanelope Von Schweetz hoddie

so I made it to the fabric store and bought the underlining for the skirt, and my fleece for the hoodie. here is what I have done so far on the hoodie for my Vanelope costume. the color looked a lot greener in the store, but that’s alright I think its close enough and I’m not entering any contests or anything its just for fun. I could actually be done with this by now but unfortunately ran into a slight problem, one that is totally my own fault! I forgot my list when I went to the fabric store which led to me forgetting to buy lining for the hood. something I feel its needs. otherwise my not quite matching serging shows its a bit darker so I don‘t like the way it looks on the outside. plus a lining will give it a much more finished look, which I want. I went ahead and put as much of the hoodie together as could without the lining. so the hoodie is now on hold till I can make it back to the fabric store. and this is something I really want to buy in person, so as to match colors as best I can. the fabric store is an hour away though so I want to combine it into another trip. I’ll make a special trip if its something I have to now, or for a bigger purchase but I hate to go that far for less then a yard of fabric. when I have six weeks to complete this. and will probably be out that way before then. if not I will make a special trip, but I highly doubt that will be necessary. the other thing I am trying to decide is how I want to add the red ribbon stitching to the pocket. do I want to punch it through the fabric which is how its supposed to look, or do I want to sew it on top without going through the fabric. I’m just not sure I want to put a hole in the fabric for the ribbon. but since this is fleece it wouldn’t really hurt it to do so, I would just have a little hole. and if I poked it through with an awl it wouldn’t be too large. I’m going to think on that one. so far so good on this one, which makes me happy.
