Stylish Santa Hoodie

Stylish Santa Hoodie
This year I decided to put an updated spin on a Santa suite for and annual Thanksmas Eve Party. This hoodie not only turned head and got compliments wherever I went but I must have been asked to make at least 15 for people other than myself, It was so simple I figured that I would just share the instructions and let people make themselves one.

Background:

Time: 30 minutes - 1 hour depending on sewing speed

Cost: Hoodie $10- 20 (Target / Marshalls)
Garland $ 3 (on second hoodie "fur" from Michael's $ 5)
Needle and Thread (you should have this but if you don't) $2

for a less permanent hold Safety Pins $2 a Box

Gather Your Supplies
What You'll Need:

1 plain Red Hoodie ( any other color will do but seriously Santa and Hot Mrs. Clause
wear red, green if you want to be an elf )

Garland for the white accents (higher quality fur can be substituted but doesn't need to be)

Something to secure the Garland to the Hoodie ( Safety pins worked fine but for a more
permanent look you could sow)

What You'll Want:

This Template

Iron on letters (for personalization)

A winter warmer or eggnog

Christmas carols playing in the background

Anything else you need to get into the spirit

I made one of these, and my classmates all asked me "What are you wearing?" while the teachers all said "That's awesome!"  I used a giant red hoodie and a white fleece blanket I got at Goodwill.  The only extra step I had to do was singeing the edge of the fleece where it had been cut.  The fleece around the hood and especially at the wrists also helps IMMENSELY in insulating the hoodie.

This is an extremely cool project.

I think I'll make one and add a white pompom to the "point" of the hood for that extra Santa Claus effect.

Do you know any other places that would carry the fur to sew on?

 it's strange how an updated spin is also a traditional spin. Santa Claus originally had a hood instead of a hat...

What a lovely idea! and one can find super-cheap hoodies at thrift stores, when the penny pinches. Nice models, especially that little hairy guy...

Awesome! I am making this once I learn how to sew on the fur. The fur directions (bottom) were confusing.
