The Casual Hoodie to Stylin’ Sweatshirt Refashion

Remember my Kangaroo Cover-up refashion from last year?

Well, the munchkin decided that hoodies were no longer cool & insisted a change was in order…

Here’s how to transform your own boring old hoodies into stylin’ sweatshirts:

Snag a hoodie & cover-up the silly print with a groovy vintage table mat

Fold the hoodie in half & chop off the hood a few centimeters above the neckline angling up from front to back

et voila! You now have a fancy new collar that can be worn up or down

As sweatshirt jersey doesn’t fray, it’s not necessary to hem the raw edges but I wanted a more finished look so I snagged some cotton ribbon from my stash…

and bound the raw collar edge

and the kiddo’s stylish new sweatshirt was done!

Create a cowl neck version by simply cutting off the hoodie completely & stitching on the chopped turtleneck from an old sweater!
