DIY Hoodie from Scratch! | WITHWENDY

[@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 .

[@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

[@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!

[@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*

[@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!

[@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!!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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...

[@AmaranteMusic]

Thank you VERY much for using our music in here!

[@withwendy]

Thank you for sending it to me! My pleasure!

[@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!

[@vanessataffe9525]

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

[@vanessataffe9525]

Q2HAN is lifeeeeee yassss

[@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😊!!!

[@Fancylooks]

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

[@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🙌

[@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!

[@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

[@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??

[@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!

[@BeautyCutright]

I just love the transition of your hair color😍

[@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.

[@jenning2492]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@raphael2966]

Wow! You are one skilled woman!

[@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.

[@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!

[@themajesticwierdo2193]

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

[@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!!!!!

[@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. ☺️

[@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 😑

[@chinacarter8319]

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

[@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

[@purpleskyylinefilms3804]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@billyashida]

really good video, very informative. with oversized hoodies like from verements they get their oversized look from the width not the length, especially in the sleeves.

[@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!

Looks like a straight jacket . Love you, mean it!

[@xiarranyork]

HI CLIKKIE :D

[@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!

[@Srizzle974]

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

[@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.

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

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

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.

[@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

[@lilaleosw]

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

[@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

[@MagdelineG]

brilliant! my favourite diy-er!...can I suggest if you use an overlocker/serger or a stretch stitches have on knit fabric it'll last forever!..well not forever but you'll never get a broken stitch (if you ever do). still fab!x

[@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!

[@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^

[@judydq]

Love it! Hoodie weather is my favorite! Thanks Wendy.

[@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...
