Open a Sweatshirt

I had this nice sweatshirt, but it was kid's size. Normally, if the size is for 12-14 years old, it is good for me. This was littler ;D So, given that I often wear sweatshirts without closing it, I decided to open it to use it.

Of course this can be done with sweatshirts of a right size!!

This was my mom's idea.

Step 1: Iron the Crease

Iron the sweatshirt flat, than fold it in two and iron the crease really well. It has to be visible when you spread the sweatshirt out.

Step 2: Mark the Crease

Mark the crease with a chalk.

Step 3: Cut

Cut on the line. Pay attention to cut precisely and as straight as possible.

Step 4: Iron the Hem

Fold the hem (1 or 2 cm) and iron it. You can baste it with thread or pin. I didn't baste it, I sewed it directly with the sewing machine.

Step 5: Sew

Sew the hem. If the sweatshirt has a big front pocket like this one, it will be automatically transformed it two lateral pockets in this step.

Step 6: Zipper

Sew the zipper and enjoy your work. :)
