Thank you for this tutorial, Londa. You saved me from having to make two jackets from scratch for our play. Such a timesaver and they came out cute enough to wear every day!

Thank you so much Linda, I really really enjoyed watching you explain to us all how to adapt a sweatshirt to make a jacket. Which, I really really think is a better better garment than what it started out like. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

Thanks for the thoughtful ideas. I have a sweatshirt I bought years ago to embellish for my Mom. I had purchased a felting machine and wanted to use it to decorate with. I have put it off for lots of reasons, but I recently got it out a d realized I needed more ideas than just the felting.

How to add embellishment

[@gingerjohnson5762]

how do you know how much to take out so the back does not cone?? I need to know that as all my jackets cone out I would like to learn how much you should put that slanted peice in the back to make in hang right ?

[@londasews]

So sorry I just saw this! Your 'cone' is occuring due to a high round back. You need a full back alteration. Look for that, and use my 'Fitting Method #2". More direction is in all of my products - www.londas-sewing.com or contact me at [e-mail]

[@londasews]

Honestly, you just have to do the crosswise slash on a 'muslin' and see how much you need to add .... just give it a try.

[@basiliciagarcia1745]

if any of you want to make this better wash the garment before or iron with vapor

[@londasews]

I apologize, I forgot to mention that I always DO wash the sweatshirt before beginning.
