How to Sew a One-Yard Fleece Hooded Poncho is such a perfect beginner sewing project. Check it out.
Look at little five-year-old Clare in her One-Yard fleece poncho!! She is 13 now, can you believe it? This project is still such a winner! I thought I would share it again just in case you are here because you received a new sewing machine for Christmas. OR maybe your goal for 2023 is to finally learn how to use the one you have!
Here is the original post and video that we made back in the day.
A while back, Jaime and I appeared on PBS’s It’s Sew Easy and shared a super simple One-Yard Fleece Hooded Poncho project. Since it’s getting brisk outside I’m excited to stitch up a few more for my favorite girls and boys. The best part is all the creative fun you can have adding trim and embellishment to make each poncho an original. Watch the video, as seen on It’s Sew Easy, to see how we made the poncho and then incorporated ribbon, pom-poms, bias tape, suede fringe and embroidery accents.
Need Fleece? Here are some options for Fleece Fabric.
Head on over to the It’s Sew Easy website for many more fabulous sewing projects and showtime information.
Want to try a crochet poncho project instead? Here is our famous Grannie Square Poncho.
A Hooded Baby Towel is another great beginner sewing project that makes a great gift.
Have leftover fleece scraps? Make a Fleece Pom-Pom Garland. So cute for any holiday or as a nursery decoration.

Ok, so this is exactly the kind of project I was looking for today. Adorable. thank you!
Love this!! It looks so cozy and cute 🙂 Definitely sharing with my Facebook friends 🙂
what do you think is the largest size you could squeeze out with a single yard? my math brain isn’t working, and i am having trouble figuring how to calculate the max possible wing span less the need to save a rectangle for the hood.
i’d like to do a batch for the cousins/nieces for holiday gifts.
depends on the width. I’d try one out and take it from here.
I love this! If you embellish the hood with ribbon as above (or something else where you’re not enclosing the edge as you would with bias tape), do you hem the hood under? It looks like it, but I can’t quite tell what you did there – these will be my little girl holiday gifts! Thanks!
hi Sarah- Yes, if I remember correctly, I just hemmed it under about 1″.
Love it! Gah I love your American accents! I know you’re in the US but it blows my mind everytime I hear a bloggers accent!
P.S. I’m in Australia, probably should’ve mentioned that sooner, bit random otherwise :/
I made one yesterday for my 3 year old and the ratio of effort to cuteness can’t be beat – so easy – thank you!!
Just made this today and linked you on my blog. Amazing! And so easy!

Hi! I am wanting to make the poncho in your baby poncho tutorial. In the docx file it references the website to find more ideas on how to embellish the poncho by adding trim and also lining the hood. It also states I can find a size chart. I tried looking but I could not find anything. Was this ever posted to the website?

Where can I find the size chart for the 1 yard fleece hooded poncho?
