The Silhouette Sweatshirt

 Hello Readers. Let's up-cycle an old sweatshirt. This Florida sweatshirt was a great base for these small silhouettes. Let me show you haw I put it together. 

I lived in Florida for years but I wanted a new sweatshirt. 

I thought I could remove these letters from the front of this sweatshirt... I could not. I decided to cover them. 

I have some cool fabric that my mother-in-law gave me. I cut out some of the silhouettes from the fabric. The colors are great for this shirt. I love this aqua-marine greenish-blue. 

 

I used some fusible inter-facing to make it easier to handle the small pieces of fabric. 

 

I arranged the pieces so that they would cover the Florida logo. I used matching thread and stitched around the edges of the pictures. I used a zigzag stitch to attach the silhouettes to the shirt. 

 

I loved how it turned out but this sweatshirt was a little too big. I decided to fix that too. 

 

 

I cut the shirt down and made it smaller and short sleeved. 

 

This was a fun shirt and I love the new look. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
