A Sweatshirt Transformation, Thrift Store Score

[@andylovescake.]

I am a HUGE fan of plaid fabrics. This turned out beautifully. Super cute.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Thank you! 😊

[@debhulks]

What a lucky find. Looks nicely outdoorsy.

[@SusanSmith-hl3iv]

❤❤I love your creativity and sense of play. I’m so motivated! I just picked up some nice sweatshirts from a local thrift shop, and now I can transform them into special gifts! Thank you so much for sharing!! I enjoy all your videos‼️ 😊

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Thank you so much for your comment. I’m so glad you find my sweatshirt transformations inspirational. They would make great gifts. Have fun creating, Julia

[@charlotted6247]

That's awesome. I just bought one to restyle for my granddaughter. I love your ideas. ❤❤

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Thank you! Have fun creating for your granddaughter!

Hi Julia - Happy Thanksgiving. Hope y’all had a great day. Love how this sweatshirt turned out. I agree that the bottom looks better cut off. Hugs! ❤

[@Dulceknits]

I have a sweatshirt in my closet in mind to create a sweatshirt like this one, Julia. Love it so much. Thank you❤. My goodwill sells the color of the day men’s shirts for $1.25….on Mondays so I have a few 😊

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi, Wow, that's a great deal at your Goodwill. I love working with plaid shirtings. I hope you give it a try. Julia

[@brendaseverns9704]

What a great find! I would never have thought about cutting the sweatshirt and putting a stripe in! I'm going to practice on one of mine! Thanks for sharing that those sweatshirts are 100% cotton! Those aren't easy to find! Happy Thanksgiving you creative lady! 😁 Brenda 🍂

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Agree-100% cotton sweatshirts are hard to find! I like the weight of these too. I think they’ll be a hit in my summer shop. Perfect for cool MN summer evenings and for keeping the mosquitoes away😊 Happy Thanks giving!

[@julieagar4483]

Thank you for sharing another lovely project ❤

[@stitchesbyjulia]

[@conniesmith9989]

Hi. Awesome. Thank you.

[@conniesmith9989]

I love textures in things.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Me too!

[@lindawhite5006]

I love this idea! I ordered several long sleeved T-shirts and once laundered they shrank in length. I'm going to try this to extend the length. Thank you for taking your time and sharing with us. 🇺🇸

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Great idea for anything that needs length. I’m enjoying working with long sleeve tees too.

[@thatcraftylady9]

What a fabulous idea to create s longer sweatshirt for a tall person. Thank you Julia. Your ideas are so creative.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

[@stitchesbyjulia]

I'm so happy to share my love for upcycling.

[@kimjordan6561]

I love this design. When u was placing the star it was looking like a tie. I thought that would be cute too but live the star. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving 😊

Thank you!

[@fayejones6740]

Awesome as always.

[@CatHand]

Love it, Julia. You added such a cozy Fall vibe to that sweatshirt! I had to laugh, because just yesterday, I added a very similar star pattern to a Christmas slow stitch kit I’m putting together! Great minds an’ all… 😉 I hope you have a very happy Thanksgiving! 🍁🦃🥧☕️🍂

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Our minds do think alike! Happy Thanksgiving to you!

i just bought a Comfort Colors sweatshirt off amazon but it’s 80/20. wish it was 100% cotton

[@stitchesbyjulia]

The style 1566 are 80/20. The sweatshirt used in this video is a new style and not available yet on Amazon. It is also lighter weight. The style # is 1466.

[@letscelebrateyou]

Hey Julia! 😊 I’m curious why you never run your blanket stitch into the ribbing of your garment? It seems you always leave that part open with no finishing stitch?

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi, it doesn’t lay flat for me. You may have better luck than I do. Thanks for watching!

[@ritathacker3032]

I have problems trying the free Motion. Not sure what I'm doing wrong you make it look so easy..😢

[@stitchesbyjulia]

It takes practice. Make sure you have the correct foot for your machine. A sewing machine dealer can help you with the proper foot.

[@ritathacker3032]

Have you ever used punking shears for decoration onyour sweatshirt transformations

[@ritathacker3032]

Picking. Lol

[@ritathacker3032]

Oh my goodness pinking shears.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

I knew exactly what you meant-LOL. I have on some of my patches etc. It adds a neat look.
