18 Sweatshirt Pattern Hacks and Refashions
Use one of these sweatshirt pattern hacks and refashions to make something cozy and comfy for the cold weather. Stay warm and cute this winter!
I get so cold in the wintertime that I have to wear layers and sweatshirts. As much as I would love to wear oversized sweatshirts and pajamas all day, sometimes I have to leave the house.
I love tweaking sweatshirts a little to make them look nice. I get to be comfortable and warm while looking nice enough to do errands and pick up my kids from school. Which sweatshirt pattern hack is your favorite?
What is refashioning?
Refashioning is to fashion clothing again or differently. I usually use this to describe when I’m sewing clothing to fit different or to look different, but the majority of the item stays the same.
what is upcycling?
Upcycling is to reuse material to create something better than the original. I usually use this to describe when I’m sewing adult clothing into clothing for children or I’m sewing clothing into an accessory or house item.
