The Homecoming Hoodie is a super comfortable and classic look for everyday and your favorite spirit wear.  This semi-fitted hoodie is perfect for any time of year too. You can choose from short sleeve for warmer weather and long for cool months.  The short sleeves make a great athletic top, nightgown, or swim cover up.  Need something warmer? Try the long sleeves with a funnel collar or hood for extra coziness. The kanga pocket is another cute detail you can add to any length excluding the crop length.  The body skimmed fit allows for an array of fabric choice… if you choose a thinner, stretchy knit you will have a more relaxed fit and feel.  If you opt for a thicker, more stable fabric for warmth or structure you will have a slimmer fit.  Throw on your tennis and you have a comfortable, but adorable outfit for the day.

Pattern options for the Homecoming Hoodie includes:

• Necklines: Crew Neckline / Funnel Collar / Hood
• Hem Lengths: Crop / Hip / Mini / Curved Mini / Knee
• Sleeves: Short / Long
• Optional Kanga Pocket (excluding crop length)
• All Versions Feature a Drop-Shoulder Dolman Sleeve

The Homecoming Hoodie pattern is drafted for stable stretch knits with some stretch. For a comfortable fit fabric should have around 30% or more horizontal stretch. The funnel collar does best with thicker, stable fabric so the funnel stands up.

Specific Fabric Suggestions: french terry, double knits, sweatshirt knit, athletic knit, stretch terry knits, brushed rib knits, waffle knits, sweater knits, thermal, micro fleece, etc.

We obviously wouldn’t leave you hanging without showing you some of the different options in the patterns!

SLEEVES :: LONG / SHORT

TOP LENGTHS :: CROP / HIP 

DRESS LENGTHS :: THIGH-MINI / CURVED HEM / KNEE

What Makes the Raider Ringer Tees Special?

The Raider Ringer Tees are inspired by the timeless charm of the Ringer tees that were all the rage in the 60s/70s, but with a unique twist—a vertical stripe detail that runs from the neckline to the hemline on the sleeves. This eye-catching feature adds a dynamic touch to an already iconic style, making these tees a standout piece in any wardrobe.

These patterns are available in all of our size charts, ensuring a perfect fit for everyone. Here’s a quick rundown of what each version offers:

• Adult Hourglass: This version is designed with a figure-hugging fit that accentuates your curves. It comes with options for crop, top, shirt, and dress hem lengths, and an additional scoop neckline option, all in sizes XXS to Plus 5X.
• Youth Hourglass: Perfect for the little ones, this version offers a similar body skimming fit as the adult version, with sizes ranging from 3M to 14. Choose from crop, top, shirt, and dress hem lengths to suit your child’s style.
• Adult V Figure: If you prefer a more relaxed fit, the V Figure version is for you. It includes three height options—Short (5’6″), Average (5’10”), and Tall (6’2″)—and comes with classic Ringer tee details like short sleeve, long sleeve cuffed, and long sleeve hem options. Available in sizes XXS to Plus 6X.
• Youth V Figure: Designed for kids who love to play and move freely, this version provides a comfortable fit with sizes ranging from 3M to 14. It’s perfect for everyday wear and offers the same sleeve options as the adult version.

The Story Behind the Name

You might be wondering, why the name Raider Ringer? Well, I (Katy…P4P designer + admin) love to draw inspiration from my home state of West Virginia when naming my patterns. This time around, I decided to honor the mascot of my husband and son’s school. Plus, how could I resist the connection between Raiders and Pirates? It was a match made in pattern-naming heaven!

The Lizzy Dress is a beautiful sundress designed without tricky zippers or time-consuming buttons, yet it still offers a sleek silhouette. It’s perfect for those woven, non-stretch fabrics you’ve fallen in love with but couldn’t find the right dress for—until now! Named after the beloved Lizzy/Elizabeth Bennet, this dress features an empire waist with elastic just under the bust and another a bit lower on the ribs. The gathered tiered skirt gives this dress swish, sway, and twirl, with a unique gathered back detail before the last tier to set it apart from your everyday dress.

Woven dresses can be tricky to fit, but the Lizzy Dress makes it simple with elastic and ties that adjust to your liking. This design offers an easy fit for fluctuating sizes and is perfect for maternity wear too!

Pattern options include:

• Straps: Thin Straps / Sleeves
• Lengths: Just Above Knee / Maxi, Ankle

This pattern is drafted for non-stretch woven apparel fabrics.

Specific Fabric Suggestions: Rayon, rayon challis, voile, seersucker, georgette, poly blends, linen blends, and cotton blends. While we typically don’t recommend quilting cotton for apparel, it can be used for this dress. Just keep in mind that fabric requirements are for wider apparel fabrics.

We obviously wouldn’t leave you hanging without showing you some of the different options in the patterns!
