This is from Nancy's Notions. It is taking a sweatshirt and changing it to a jacket and then embellishing it with your embroidery.

Thank you, that is a perfect way to dress up a boring sweatshirt.

great idea. I have seen them done, never tried it myself.

What a great idea! You could even purchase a slightly larger size sweatshirt - this way the sleeves would be full length (not the 3/4 they are in this video) and then you could have it slightly overlap the front (by maybe 1.5"?) and have it a button up front all the way down...but then don't forget to stabilize where you sew the buttonholes! Oooooohhhhh, the possibilities are endless!

Thanks so much for this link. I Can't wait to try one of these!

Barb, did I miss where you posted YOUR sweatshirt jacket????? I want to see it, please.;)

Great idea...thank you jrob!

Thanks for posting this. I have two sweatshirt jackets that have been in the making for years. I just put them aside because I couldn't decide how to finish off the front and bottom. This gives me an idea that I like.
