I didn't even want to crop sew a hoodie, but now I have to.

[@jillleebean6327]

Guadalupe Franco I was struggling to make my $3 hoodie cute but I feel enlightened

[@Carmelamarinn]

Same! I'm so upset now that my sewing abilities are not being used and i'm not making these types of videos!

[@christinewalter2782]

Same!!!

[@xninoschkax]

same

[@tilweseeallthestars]

Megan keeps saying that her hair looks bad, but honestly it looks SO good

[@Ateka9]

Absolutely, and it fits her really well

[@pz2455]

first thing I thought: wow, that hair.

[@ayat__mahdy313]

Hello, how are you My name is Ayat from Iraq. I love the English language and I want to learn it. I want to talk to people from America and people who speak English My Instagram account @ahmedt_19998 Send me a message so we can be friends

[@Nestellnd]

Haha ikr

[@kimedulzura2273]

I want to see Megan operate a high tech machine and only saying things like: put this thing in the thing under the thing we just used.

[@Torsee]

That’s very technical sewing jargon!

[@J4A22]

This is kind of that lol

[@Hamless_Kiwi]

But seriously why does it make so much more sense when explained that way 😂

[@tessa7463]

little tip- you should use a zigzag stitch when you sew the waistband back on to make sure it stretches how it's supposed to when you're wearing it

[@sufficientgrace18]

I don’t sew. I don’t plan to ever sew. But here I am watching this entire video because I love your videos!

[@Beeper98]

To make it simpler, you don't even have to cut the waistband/hem off. Instead, you could fold it up to the length you want it, sew along the bottom of that band, and cut the excess. Ashley (Bestdressed) used that technique in one of her thrift flip videos.

[@miasje313]

Miranda I luv best dressed 💕

[@rochelledickson2536]

Sometimes it's hard to maneuver so much excess fabric it's easier to get rid of it so you can clearly and confidently see what you're doing

[@-AnweshaDas-]

That is so much better omg

[@eldoona3858]

If anyone is wondering which video it is it’s this one (kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX6pYqd_h5Zgask) it’s near the end of the video

[@TranswarpXL]

This is all leading up to Megan's inevitable fashion empire and I'm here for it.

[@biancajingles2690]

Her: You’re going to hug these two pieces together like a little piece of calamari Me: *has never had calamari* a yes, like calamari

[@BSapphire]

😂 same

[@dadghost]

Me, staring at my grandma's sewing machine, sweating: I don't need to crop everything I own

[@maddie_everett_]

Ok but hear me out- you should sell the cropped versions of these sweatshirts as well!!!! I’d buy both🤪

[@InTheGlow135]

Maddie Everett agreed mo money mo money mo money!!!

[@ayat__mahdy313]

[@DanicaCarabeo]

Hey, Megan :) I love your vids. I've been watching you since I was 14, and I'm turning 20 this year lol. As someone that also sews, I just wanted to chime in, and share some tips with you. For sewing stretchy fabric, you're going to want to use a zig zag stitch or some other stitch that can stretch along with the fabric. A straight stitch won't allow the fabric to stretch anymore bc it locks the fabric in place. Also a tip for sewing a smaller elastic onto a larger hem would be to divide the elastic and the hem into four (or more if necessary) parts. You can stretch and sew the elastic so that the four points on the elastic matches up to the four points on the hem. If done correctly, it easily distributes the stitching evenly :)

[@valeriaolivo8184]

Ok so I have never sewed anything but I've always wanted to get into sewing. This looked pretty simple and I decided to try it. Guys... I absolutely love how my hoodie turned out! All of my other hoodies are now in danger of being cropped.

[@aliciamcgee8293]

“Just prepare yourself for not everything to be fine. And then you’ll be ready when everything sucks” LOL ILY

[@rinaquila6765]

"I love cropped hoodies they're as fun as they are confusing. Are you hot? are you cold? What goin on girl?" 😂😂😂

[@adeptfew]

“You can find other people that do this better” me entering any relationship

[@AnotherGenericUsername]

Watching you sew and be confident about it is so awesome to see. You're really good!

[@szymanski001]

Hey Megan! I’ve been looking for such tutorial for ages! You did fantastic job, explaining everything step by step as well as showing final result. Thank you so much!

[@Joe.D.Sheppard]

I was the best in my class at sewing in Primary school and it's a badge of honour I wear with pride. 😁

[@shawnapunzalan3696]

I did it! Thank you for showing us this is so easy! Just cropped two hoodies for my daughter. I left one unhemmed and reattached the ribbed hem part back on the other! She is going to love them!

[@TheRsquared2000]

Don’t let go! Loved this tutorial Megan! Those cropped hoodies look fantastic on you!! Keep your chin up or down depending on whether you’re currently sewing an elastic band onto something.. stay awesome ❤️❤️

[@abeaatriz]

me: omg her hair looks so good, i need to start doing that megan: my hair looks so bad me:

[@isalinanayakkara7613]

honstly i would 100% recommend this, i just did it and it looks sooooo good, super easy and great way to make your old hoodie/jumper feel brand new.

[@jessieboylston9766]

Megan! I love your sewing/ crafting videos annnnnd your decorating videos!!! Thanks for being an awesome human!

[@kimwilliamscarmer518]

Megan, Sense we are home lock-in I am watching a bit of everything. I just happen to come across your channel. Thank you for putting a smile on my face. Great job and I had to subscribe!

[@nanasetwins780]

“We almost became enlightened, but not today Satan!”

[@cathypope4073]

This is my first time watching one of your videos and I just love everything.

[@moriahparis7273]

I freakin love your videos. They never fail to make me smile. You' re hilarious.

[@mayreyes6310]

Wow! Now watching this really made me want to try this at home. I really need a sewing machine. I love the idea of sewing the stretchy hem into the raw edge. It looks amazing!

[@sabrryn]

So glad I found this video and your channel. Love your energy! 💌

[@caitlynhays6635]

I love your sewing videos SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️ I just finished my first cropped sweater 👌 I love it!

[@moonshines4278]

I love you making things extra challenging for no reason!!!!!!!!!

[@babybates5319]

I just followed this tutorial and my hoodie turned out great! Thanks :) I used a piece of cardboard that was the length of the hem to stretch out the elastic band to the size of the hoodie instead of my chin, works a treat!

[@lemotek]

Thought that hoodie said "Headass"

[@rochelledickson2536]

Just as good

[@Spooky-Sara]

Ah yes a hoodie made specifically for me

[@cheyennegedega1109]

thank you so much, this was the best sewing tutorial I have ever found! And thank you for being so real about the sewing struggles!!

[@angelanice]

You're doing awesome! I love the confidence you've gained since you bought the sewing machine ❤️ FYI the "bracket" is called a foot 😊

[@MleLin.]

This was way quicker than I thought it’d be and super easy 🙌🏼 looks like I bought it that length. Thank you 🤍

[@jarretoles9845]

When she said I can't get confident because I'm immediately put in my place.....I felt that

[@nickysrock]

This tutorial was excellent. Informative and entertaining. Also, girl your hair looks amazing ❤️

[@gisselleperez9143]

this is going to entertain me while being in this quarantine time, about to crop every hoodie in my closet 😂

[@claysparrows]

I've used this a few times now and coming back to this video is so helpful, thank you!

[@alexswaim5704]

As soon as I go back home for spring break I am trying this! Love ya Megan!:>

[@rarered7364]

Girl, you crack me up....sewing and comedy.....who would have thought. LOVE YOUR PERSONALITY

[@pinkigloo5]

Dude. I paused to write this. It's the first video of yours I've seen and I am in freaking love. Thank you for existing. Subscribed right away.

[@thecoolestjoe]

Megan you are just a joy to watch

[@skyeelsliger9675]

I wanted to say that I did this with sewing machine ( hand sewing) it wasn't that difficult and it only took me 1 hour and it looks AMAZING!! Thanks so much for the tutorial❤❤❤

[@mikkimouse1762]

Megan, I just did it and it took less than an hour! You are AMAZING!!!! Thank you sew much!!! It turned out perfectly!!! Liked ✔ Commented ✔ Subscribed ✔

[@mikaylah3943]

was half way through doing this and had to come back to check what stitch you used. nothing says 'sewing project' like zooming in on three clips just to see its a straight stitch

[@brennak5044]

I just did this following your video! I had to change some of your methods because it wasn't a hoodie and the bottom band wasn't elastic, just somewhat stretchy fabric. I was positive that everything was gonna go wrong and I was just gonna end up with a ruined shirt lol. Ended up pretty much perfect! Did it in about 45 minutes and now I'm wearing this shirt out today after giving it a new lease on life! Gotta go do this to some of my actual hoodies now.

[@rosie4546]

i haven't used a sewing machine in five years but i wanted to crop a hoodie and i followed this video anD IT WORKED SO WELL IM SO HAPPY THANK YOU!!

[@helenosullivan1191]

Clever girl...... ya did it.... was yelling at you to pin the sides then the middle and so on and you did it yay ....Love your work don’t ever change xxx

[@aiSha-ds8rh]

YOU SAVED MY LIFE! I ordered a hoodie for pe in school but it was WAYYY too long. Thanks for the video! ☺️

[@MandyFocus]

Such a good idea!! I’ve been trying to learn how to set my seeing machine up to do these kinds of things!!! Thanks for giving me a boost of motivation!! 😘😘😘

[@sk0205xx]

I did this and it worked so well and sparked an interest for me. Thank you xx
