I made the bias trim and then made the flower colors to match. Designs from Tuckers Treasures. Am I the only one that loves a decorated sweatshirt!?

That's gone from drab to fab! Well done it's lovely, bright and cheery! Love Chris

This is adorable! I love the colors you chose and your designs are sooooooo cute!

I love colours too and am amazed what a super jacket you managed to make out of a sweatshirt.

Thank you very much!

Great inspiration. Did you have much trouble with the sleeves? Did you turn them inside out?? How did you do them? Also, was there ribbing around the sleeves to begin with and did you chop that off? This is adorable.... I think I'll make one for my mommy who is having surgery in a couple weeks to replace a knee.... Give her happy thoughts :)

Thank you. Yes, I cut the ribbing off the sleeves and neck area. I opened the sleeve that I embroidered on and then sewed it shut again and put the trim on it. I also put a design in the back, just below the neck area. Good luck to your Mom.

Nein, ich finde es auch schön

ohhh, how sweet!!!!!

I love your sweatshirt but have not gotten brave enough to make a jacket but this is temping me to do so. Love the spring colors and design

Awesome! You did a great job on this sweatshirt. Thanks for sharing it .

I love this! Now may I ask...how do you determine the slope and curve around the neckline? Pink is definitely my color and need to make me a spring jacket. :-) teri

Thank you. This sweatshirt had small v of ribbing at the top so I just cut that and the neck ribbing off and sloped it a bit. I wasn't happy with the slope so I trimmed the curve so it was less rounded. If it hadn't had the v, I would probably have just cut it straight.

No you are not alone. A sweatshirt is made to design on.

This is really cute.

The top is so cute I love to decorated sweatshirt but I haven't done any in ages you must keep up the great work.

Great Job, and nope you aren't alone on the decorated shirts. I love pink and yellow combinations. Thanks for sharing.

Just a gorgeous work of art. Love the color combination. Very springy. Wear it in good health.
