Heart Hoodie

 Hello Readers. Valentine's Day is coming soon. I love to make clothes with a theme. I don't know why but I do. Let's just go with it and have some fun with it. I had this plain sweat shirt on-hand and I decided to dress it up a little. 

New Sweatshirt! 

This was a plain sweatshirt jacket. It was simple and it had a zipper in front. That means I could open it up to sew the heart on it. 

 

I also had these sweatshirts that I could use for this project. 

 

I cut 3 hearts out of the sweatshirts. I wanted one in each color. 

 

I took the heart shapes and ironed on some fusible interfacing to give them more structure. I ironed the back of the hearts to the bumpy side of the interfacing. 

 

I played around with the placement of the hearts. I rearranged them until I liked how they looked. 

 

I pinned the hearts in place and sewed around the edges of the hearts to attach the hearts to my jacket. 

 

I sewed the hearts on the sweatshirt one at a time.

 

I used thread that matched each heart to keep the colors the same. 

 

My sweatshirt was ready for Valentine's Day. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sweatshirts to Dress

 Hello Readers. I wanted to make a dress out of sweatshirt material. I had these 2 sweatshirts in my refashion stash so I decided to use these sweatshirts together. I thought this would be a fun cozy dress.

Before and after. 

This sweatshirt had a cool lace up neckline. This would be a fun feature to a dress.

This men's sweatshirt would be great as a skirt.

I cut the sleeves. and waistband off. I wanted to get the front by itself so make the bodice of the dress.

I cut 2 pieces so I would have 2 layers for my front.

I made a front and back that I could put together.

I cut the sleeves and shoulders off the gray shirt. The body could be a great skirt. I attached it to the bodice.

I wanted to attach the gray sleeves to the bodice.

The dress was as cozy as I thought it would be. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
