Hi, I'm Wendy, and I have been on a sewing journey ever since my mom taught me how to make little outfits for my dolls.

Subscribe to join me on the adventure, and maybe make your own clothing too! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@elle4406]

the hoodie turned out really great! but the black made it a little hard to see in the video

[@withwendy]

That is my struggle with black :( I did adjust all of the shots to bump up the exposure on the black, so if you view it at full brightness it does get easier to see!

[@carraicodonnell8134]

where did you get the elastic-like fabric used for cuffs

[@allkindofstupidstuff]

I was going to comment the exact same thing haha

[@victoriathangjam9838]

I was looking for this comment

[@windym6242]

Same thought

[@takwadhaoui630]

me when seeing the title of the video (or basically of any other tutorial xD ) : -Oh i can do that ! it's easy right? *5min later* -Nope ... *eating popcorn*

[@hananiazman5]

takwa dhaoui same lol😂😂😂 except that Im out of popcorn rn😂😂 well, that dp tho AgustD

[@takwadhaoui630]

hanani azman Yeaah *-* .. BEULTORONAE

[@nefariouseunoia3184]

[@MrC0MPUT3R]

You just have to do it. Don't worry about making mistakes. :)

[@evyhorror]

when I get a sewing machine I'm definitely making this

[@Amberstone13]

Evy Vanity 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 get iiiiit!! It's so much fun:)

[@dangblackvelvet4226]

Evy Vanity ARMY!! Me too. But I'm still in middle school and I still have much to learn.

[@letherbloom]

when my mom have bought a sewing machine for me,and now i just have to buy the things....because kpoppers must have a feel that they want a kpop hoodie but it's really expensive if we buy! so,from this vid,i can do it myself!

[@jimmyboy665]

True! So many kpop merch stores simply iron the group labels anyway and sell it for a high price, it'll be much cheaper to just make it. I hope I can learn how to sew

[@rabbit5000]

get it from taobao. it's a china website that is suuper famous in china (and singapore, where im from). they have many hallyu and ulzzang style stuff that is as cheap as 12 dollars!

[@jordanjones3532]

Just made this today in about 3 hours, as a very novice sewer it was so easy and had given me the confidence to make some more of my own clothes! Thanks wendy!

[@withwendy]

It's been too long! I was busy the last two weeks making that video for CBC and so happy with how it turned out. Thank you all for watching and I hope this helps you bundle up for colder weather :) It's not too challenging of a project!

[@withwendy]

Thanks for making amazing fabric!

[@MakeDoAndRevamp]

ThreadIntl Great job for finding innovative uses for plastic!!

[@RayleneMichelleStudio]

withwendy Ah I love this, Wendy! Can't wait to try it out 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 xx

[@abdullahnazeer908]

What is fabric name?

[@slayaicha6793]

withwendy You still haven't done the video where you would design or decorate the hoodie .

[@DaLaMc1]

I love your long sleeves. many people don't account for comfort or long armed people

[@1WayTicketUpUrs]

Hey Wendy, Just wanted to let you know I made a hoodie after your tutorial. It was my first ever project with sewing a clothes-item and I thought I was going to be so overwhelmed, but I was shocked at how easy it was. My hoodie looks amazing, it looks so professional! Im so happy with it and I just want to thank you so much for the work that you do here. Your videos are so comprehensive and still retain so much clarity; it proves to me how incredibly talented you are at doing these tutorials. Thanks to you I learned a new skill and kept my head cool while doing it. Thank you so much!!

[@RicsGames]

Greetings! ive followed ur instructions and made 3 hoodies! yellow, green and black, minus the long sleeve. no one can tell this was DIY! Thank u so much!

[@AmaranteMusic]

Thank you VERY much for using our music in here!

[@withwendy]

Thank you for sending it to me! My pleasure!

[@KeyShanece]

Omg I definitely need to buy some fleece fabric now😭 I think I can actually make this.

[@dannysouza2083]

me too!

[@fartgirl6284]

laney saye how did it turn out??

[@BonesofStarlight]

I adore overlong sleeves and overlong hoodies that are still fitted. Super super cute. Thank you so so so much, I'll have to make this!

[@Sophia-yb2tj]

girl i have been PRAYING for a tutorial like this from you. it always seemed so complicated to attempt so i always stuck with basic crewneck sweaters but i'm so excited to try this so thank you!

[@Fancylooks]

This was so interesting, I really liked it, very clever!

[@vanessataffe9525]

Wendy thank you for being a gem and sharing this diy.😊

[@vanessataffe9525]

Q2HAN is lifeeeeee yassss

[@lindsdandy9742]

wacky inflatable arm flailing tube man vibes with those long ass sleeves hahah lovee thisss

[@emilysmall6759]

I wanted to thank you. My daughter kept asking me to buy her a hoodie with a large hood. She wanted me to make sure that was more "fitted" so that it didn't make her look fat. (I know, she was pretty specific), plus, she wanted pockets and to make sure that it was warm. I was unable to "find" this item to purchase anywhere. This is where you came in. I am so happy to have found your video here. Using this video and with the "Clone your clothes" video that you made, I was able to make her exactly what she wanted. So yeah, HUGE thank you from a disabled mom for making helping me make my daughter happy.

[@NinfaRoma41]

Have you ever thought of making a video about hand sewing in case you don't own a sewing machine and can´t access to one but is still interested in sewing? A little advice could come handy for many of us who may be holding back too much because of it when probably shouldn't. Thanks anyway, and love your videos and your eco-friendly mentality. And really loving this hoodie, you are amazing! Cheers!

[@xrarelightx]

OMG Thank you so much for this hoodie tutorial! It's a lifesaver! I would love to make these as gifts this Christmas. :)

[@withwendy]

Your loved ones are so lucky!

[@emilybone9029]

Thank you so much for this video! I got a sewing machine for Christmas ('16) and have very slowly been collecting the other bits I needed to make something. Despite not sewing anything since school lessons I had 4+ years ago, I decided this was going to be my first project, and today (29/5/17) I finally made it! A few errors on my part but nothing drastic. I don't have any stretchy fabric at the moment, so I can't quite finish the hemming, but I can get some in a few days. I added mini pockets inside the big pocket, just a rectangle with stitches on three sides and up the middle before you put the big pocket on top. I couldn't have done this without the clear instruction in your video! Xx

[@denisetheslothsewist]

I am so glad that I found your video. Currently, I am making my first hoodie, and I have attempted to attach the hoodie several times with no success. After watching your video, I final understand that I have to turn the hood inside out then, I need to stitch it and attach to shirt. Your video is a huge saver for me. I will definitely tackle the hood tomorrow. Thank you for sharing, I do appreciate it😊!!!

[@ZoeGanis]

This is the first video I have watched of yours. I subscribed 10 seconds in and I WAS SUPER IMPRESSES BY THE END OMG!!!!! You are so talented!!!!!

[@raphael2966]

Wow! You are one skilled woman!

[@lkjjk45]

Will definitely try this out. But the main thing that blow up my eyes and turn up my ears is your confidence, voice pitch, the way of communication/interaction and the way you pair us with you is marvelous. Teach me this please...

[@kurookun7974]

I love it . I can’t believe that you made that hoodie

[@jenning2492]

I don't know if you take in requests, but could you do a oversized colorblock hoodie?

[@sandrewbox]

I love your work, Wendy! I've been trying to pick a project from your channel to try out. This may be the one! I would love to see how to make a zip up hoodie too!

[@naomipog]

Wendy, thank you SO much for this video. Been watching almost day and night for the past week and finally got myself a sewing machine and fabrics and gave it a try. It came out just the way I expected. Awesome explaining ❤️

[@MakeDoAndRevamp]

Great tutorial! Very in depth! I ❤️ that you're using recycled material for this tutorial. Nice to know that plastic is being reused for more things.

[@BeautyCutright]

I just love the transition of your hair color😍

[@jadeintheparke1]

I live in jackets in the Fall and Winter, so this is awesome! Do you think you could do a video on downsizing T Shirts? I have so many ridiculously large and boxy t shirts that I want to trim down a little without completely changing the shape of the garment.

[@illusory7862]

My grandmother is amazing at sewing and with that comes a ton of scrap fabric. She recently got a new sewing machine so she gave her old one to me along with all of her unused or scrap fabric to practice. There are a ton of cool and different patterns so I was planning on making a hoodie that's just a mess of different patterns. Make it special.

[@themajesticwierdo2193]

That is such a cute hoodie with the extra long sleeves! Very easy to follow instructions too. Great job!

[@kirsten_sovereignbeing]

I love it!! I always wish my sleeves were longer on my hoodies too 😊

[@justiceblackwolf369]

u made that look so simple ! love the hoodie 💖 especially the longer arms since i buy them then the arms shrink or something, always end up short 😑

[@OPHOMO]

I'd like to thank you Wendy. I bought my first sewing machine due to you inspiring me, and I've fallen in love with sewing and I can't seem to stop!

[@withwendy]

That is amazing! Thank you for telling me!

[@basudhamandal9799]

I NEED WENDY IN MY LIFE!!!!!!!

[@dapho]

I love your tutorials and q2han! Thanks so much for this can't wait to get started (except it's spring here in Aus)

[@PeppaTeaPig]

Ahhh you made this so easy, thank you! I am a beginner to sewing (I was supposed to have learned for cosplay years ago) but I’m excited to try this now! I’m gonna make a frog hoodie 💕

[@mieks4798]

I just watched a 2012 video of yours and from there jumped on to this one and it makes me happy that 4 years later you are still doing the thing you're passionate about.

[@jobmurdah50]

Wendy keeps cranking out these amazing videos! I love your work and I feel a lot more confident in my sewing skills because of you :) THANKS WENDY

[@ohmyprettygirl]

I just found your channel and pretty much immediately subscribed when I found out what most of your content is about, not even 3 minutes into the video.

[@kay4019]

[@KarlaLopez-br4se]

myprettygirl sameeee!

[@Q2HAN]

Thanks so much for mentioning Wendy! 🙈💘 love how the sweater turned out ;) btw, we should collab 👉🏻👈🏻 pretty please haha

[@geewizz6642]

[@jadasimone4880]

She's the dopest KZbinr to ever do this!! Like she's so freaking creative and humble. I love it!! Keep doing you Wendy🙌

[@ToThe9s]

Congrats on 300k ❤️❤️❤️

[@withwendy]

ILU2SM 💕

[@bustaReimers07]

I spent most of the end of the video stalking your sewing setup and organization for inspiration lol.

[@withwendy]

I have a video coming out today on that!

[@abbiegrier207]

It looks so good! 7:58 is my second favorite part of the video, 9:32 is my top favorite part bc of the verse!! I didn't know you were a believer!! But also, I don't watch your videos regularly, so that's probably why. Awesome to see that! I really want to make one now

[@sarkisen760]

I made a hoodie 2 years ago with matching sweatpants in school and I’m happy I saved the pattern paper and the instructions so I can make more at home. ☺️

[@indieconquers]

Have you done a tour of your sewing room? I have a small space and your spool storage seems ideal.

[@withwendy]

+Angela I do! There's a room tour video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIO8Yaunmqeonac

[@mitchellprice5586]

I just got the fabric, I'm going to make this!

[@jamelaqattam5414]

[@chinacarter8319]

This is the simplest, most easy-to-use tutorial I think I've ever seen!!! Thank you!!!

[@wildlydiera]

Wendy.... your videos just make me so happy. You're amazing at what you do girl! Thanks for always posting such great content!!! I'm always inspired after watching you.

[@Srizzle974]

lol this reminds me of those blow up dancing figures that are usually at car dealerships with the waving arms

[@morinyx2648]

i want to do this tho I have no money and I fail most of the time and i completely forgot how to set up a fucking sewing machine

[@shahinfardin7565]

Soonji Kwon lol same

[@marimynxx748]

this is so effing cool! I love the proportions and the fit on you, can't wait to try this. thank you as always Wendy

[@Sherryyeh0730]

Great tutorial. Love the sound effects- especially those satisfying "wap" sounds when you put the cut pieces of cloth on the surface :P

[@sewing-pro]

jestes bardzo zdolna :) pozdrawiam

[@sillygooseenergy]

Wait so I can I trace around my twenty one pilots hoodie and have a pattern for a hoodie like it? I CAN HAVE TWO OF THIS HOODIE? ITS SO COMFY TOOOOO JSJDOCKWNBEJFKSJSNSN I forgot my meds

[@xiarranyork]

HI CLIKKIE :D

[@imamixture]

I loved the video, I'm so in love with the simplicity of the steps, thanks a lot, so enlightening

[@RealtraDesigns]

perfect tutorial. I will make mine with a long torso piece as I am tall and struggling to find proper length. Hoodies are my favorite clothing piece! also love the ultra long sleeves it's cute.

[@paradis3ra]

I love this! Though I think you should've used white/colored fabric as it could've made it a bit easier to see but other than that nice tutorial. :)

[@sophieb.3169]

Check video "diy hoodie sew & wear", there is more visual..

[@rihannalvr]

I’m definitely going to be a designer when i grow up

[@SewEasyPlease]

This hoodie looks soo comfy. Great video!

[@adroitonigiri]

Thank you thank you thank you sooooooooo much for this tutorial!!! I always wanted to make my own hoodie because the ones out there are either too big (even though it says petite xs or xxs) or the fabric rips easily but fit me just right. Now I can experiment to find the perfect material for me and it'll actually be fitted to my size. Again I cannot thank you enough! Keep up the good work!

[@rebeccabrand2411]

i've never watched a sewing video ever. idk why i was recommended this

[@mfox693]

sponsored content

[@Hana-uy1wi]

Misty Fox hi 👋🏻, how to sponsor the you tube vid ? Would be cool if you tell me .thanks so much 🙏🏻

[@simpleli96]

I'm thinking of starting to try to make some of my own clothes now that I just found your channel. What price range/place should a complete beginner buy their fabric from? I saw that Thread sells theirs for $10 per yard, with a minimum of 5 yards, should I go cheaper than that? Or is that already a cheap price?

[@withwendy]

From my experience shopping in Canada, $20/yard is in the higher end

[@simpleli96]

Ahh ok thanks for actually replying! :D

[@Sharktwoth]

Idk how costly it is compared to others, but me and my family always go to a fabric store called JoAnnes. They have a great selection and the employees are always super helpful

[@captaineagleeye]

Loved it. I now get to design/craft my own hoodies. I love the designs/styles some brands have but not the colors so I’ve been wanting to do this for a while. Tysm

[@m.-e.p.750]

Nice! my teens are addicted to hoodies! I might give it a try. thank you for sharing and explaining every step so well.

[@infires2013]

if i make this im sooo kpopping it 😂😂😂

[@isidoravojinovic7362]

Infires4Life sameeee

[@alienkrocetttt8652]

how much fabric do i need to make a M hoodie?

[@withwendy]

3 yards of 60" wide fabric will be enough :)

[@alienkrocetttt8652]

Thank you so much! :D

[@christianscrazylife]

I was just wondering if you had a tutorial for hoodies the other day and now here it is! Hoodies are my favorite, so I'll have to give this a try.

[@christianscrazylife]

Oh, and ever since I saw Mitch Grassi wearing Vetements, I was curious to hear how it was pronounced. I was very wrong, haha.

[@nubienne34]

Amazing tutorial. I made this last year but I made a hooded dress using your vid. So, now I'm going to make a hoodie with leather sleeves for my brother for Christmas. You are the absolute best for sharing this tutorial!

[@luatea3805]

Hi Wendy ^-^ I have a Q and wondering if you have the A? So my question is since I am already making the hoodie would I be able to put faux fur on the hood part without it being to mush fabric to sew over? cause I don't want to break my sewing mashine (again)

[@withwendy]

+FlowerFrisk -_- hi! If you put faux fur on the hoodie lining, I'd suggest doing it with a faux fur that had shorter hairs. That way I'm hoping it won't be as risky to sew over!

[@luatea3805]

+withwendy awesome thanks so much Wendy! ^v^

[@alyssasmith270]

Hey, how much fabric would I need in order to make a XL hoodie?

[@withwendy]

I would say 2.5 yards, 3 to be safe!

[@alyssasmith270]

Okay and thank you so much!!

[@irmagonzalez6051]

This was an awesome tutorial! I love how you explained it and you're very talented. Thank you!

[@legacychild2592]

Thank you so much, I have always been curious as to how I would begin to make a hoodie from Start to finish. You really helped me out more than you will ever know.

[@pleasedontlookatme78789]

how much did the 2 yards of clothe cost?

[@withwendy]

On their site it's $10 per yard and my code will get you another 10% off, it's a pretty good price for fleece!

[@pleasedontlookatme78789]

withwendy thats amazing thank you so much :))

[@LifeAsEndy]

It’s better to order from Joann’s

[@savannahleslie3515]

The Fashion Mogul Joanne's fleece is thicker, not ethically made, and not made of recycled materials. It's an option, but it's an alternative project, not an alternative solution if this video is really what you want.

[@dannysouza2083]

id make an assassins creed hood lol

[@purpleskyylinefilms3804]

i swear you have the best quality sound and video tutorials ive ever watched on youtube lol

[@eyekeyasvision]

Thank you sooo much for your video!! I've been searching far and wide and your video is by far the best explanation step by step of how to sew the hood on/pattern !! Now I can confidently finish my project! Thanks again!

[@lenaph1610]

7:57 you look like a Slenderman 😂this scare's me😂😅

[@Launchpad05]

[@brittahubbard4770]

Hello! We used this tutorial to make sweatshirts in our Middle School Family and Consumer Sciences class. It was great! Thank you so much.

[@confidenceovercomparison]

THAT MATERIAL LOOKS LIKE A DREAM! Looks so comfy! great diy, as always wendy!

[@seand914]

People are coming from the right place with the recycled fabric, but it's actually sort of disastrous. Fabric sheds fibers, particularly when washed. So every time you do laundry you release a ton of tiny plastic fibers into the water. When bottles are in one piece they can be recovered from the environment easily. For this reason there's a push to recover all of the plastic from the ocean while it's still whole, as things like the sun are constantly breaking it down in to smaller particles within the water. Turning bottles into fibery fluff defeats this entirely. Recognition of this issue is still in it's infancy; microfiber pollution is the term to google if you are interested.

[@GuitarGurlSinging]

I'm pretty sure Emma Watson would love this! :)

[@temmytory4309]

i made it but did and crop oversize boxy hoodie instead. it turned out. your tutorials are soo great.

[@Anthonywilliamsmith]

Thank you for the inspiration and clear instructions. Never sewed any clothing before today, made a hoodie this afternoon.. fits brilliantly, will be making more:)

[@lilaleosw]

I am obsessed with hoodies. I desperatley need a new one. I am excited to try this! 😁

[@jackim5073]

It's great that u want to recycle but the problem with having clothes made from plastic materials is that when u wash it the material little shards of plastic comes out and goes into the water so when u start to have little things of plastic in your water it goes everywhere. It goes into the ocean killing fish and into the water we drink which is not good for you. This isn't hate I just wanted to make people aware of it.

[@Hana-uy1wi]

jac kim _ a very good point ☝️ indeed

[@sixtysyxti3235]

Lol better then a whole plastic bottle In the ocean

[@rojorohr4723]

A whole bottle can be easily picked up, the small plastic particles not, and those get eaten by fish and other animals which we later eat, and so we end up with plastics in our organism...
