Sweatshirts

Homemade Sweatshirts

When I was at the mall with my boyfriend, he commented on how he liked a fleece sweatshirt he saw. My first thought was "I can definitely make that." I snuck one of his current sweatshirts and used it to get measurements. I made my own pattern using his sweatshirt as a guide. Then I made him a sweatshirt with this pattern and some fabric he picked out. I ended up modifying the pattern and making sweatshirts for a lot of my friends and family as well.

This is some of the planning I did.

Here I am cutting out some of the fabric with the pattern pieces. This sweatshirt was for my friend, Karen.

I pinned the various fabric pieces together

And this is the final front piece
