How to Crop Sew a Hoodie

[@guadalupefranco4880]

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!!!

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.

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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 :)

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@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

[@jarretoles9845]

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

[@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!

[@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. 😁

[@abeaatriz]

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

[@rinaquila6765]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@mokab3630]

I literally had never sewed anything in my entire life and never worked a sewing machine and I did this!! It looks hella wonky but ya know what im proud of myself :,)

[@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!!

[@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.

[@FreedomOverFame.Tattoos]

That sweater at the end looked so soft. I have a few customers requesting cropped hoodies so thank you for this video

[@gisselleperez9143]

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

[@wazup24681]

So imma be honest Megan is the only fashionesk, beauty and tbh everything different from what I usually watch and she just makes everything entertaining and funny and I love her laugh, just she's awesome, I freaking love her podcasts as well!

[@gabriellagreer-benedict9476]

Welp! Just watched this video and whipped up a cropped sweatshirt that I needed for tomorrow. The easiest diy tutorial ever!!!! BOOM! Killed it!

[@rarered7364]

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

[@reveluvvies]

suddenly i want to crop sew everything in my closet

[@TrixiaDelaRosa]

Let's all appreciate that Megan hypes herself up with Hamilton playing in the background when she's timing herself... she is not throwing away her shot for sure!!!

[@nadinerodriguez590]

thanks megan now i need to unconvince myself that i need a sewing machine. in all realness tho this tutorial is amazing!!

[@moonshines4278]

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

[@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❤❤❤

[@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 😊

[@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

[@annajo8259]

Pause: Every time I see a female this pretty, I literally have to stop and let them know. You are gorgeous!

[@amyknowles390]

Cause you are a nice person

[@njabulongwenya7546]

Amy Knowles I can say the same to you

[@claysparrows]

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

[@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 ✔

[@moriahparis7273]

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

[@sun.healinggoddexx]

Bless your heart! After 3 hours of trying to figure out what was wrong with my threading, it turned out my needle was the wrong way. LOL I got it done in less than an hour after figuring that out!

[@Threadinhand]

I just discovered this channel and I'm living for her relatability

[@nanasetwins780]

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

[@lemotek]

Thought that hoodie said "Headass"

[@rochelledickson2536]

Just as good

[@Spooky-Sara]

Ah yes a hoodie made specifically for me

[@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.

[@samanthaw8618]

Do I have a sewing machine? No. Do I know how to sew? Definitely no. Did I still watch this whole video? Hell yes! Gosh, I just love you and your energy, Meg!

[@babenangieven3725]

You do it even if you don't know anything about that thing. Atleast you've tried. ~Mindset of people who loves to learn anything. Yes, that's us! 🙋‍♀️

[@MirasaurusRex]

This came up in my recommended videos as I'm sitting here in the hoodie that I bought as a crop top and sewed the bottom half of a different hoodie to it. The duality of man.

[@AnotherGenericUsername]

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

[@WhoShe1973]

I CANNOT believe that took you TWELVE MINUTES!!! I was like “ooh, ok, maybe 12 hours?” Not even being facetious!! THAT is TALENT!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@cathypope4073]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@bsjeffrey]

thread to match the lettering might have looked good also. have you ever used a serger? would be good for those seams also.

[@karinnalopez2730]

Finally a sewing video that taught me something AND entertained me 😂

[@lexielam6254]

megan’s channel became a sewing vids and im not complaining LOL

[@kzinskeep]

Nice! Thanks for the tip! I was scared to ruin my daughter's sweatshirt, even though I've been sewing for 50 years. Another tip is to go ahead and topstitch after moving the ribbed hem. It will look even more profesh and hold it in place. (Others have mentioned using a zigzag stitch on knits like this for bests results.) Keep on creating!

[@christine6159]

my little sister is literally a seamstress for a living and this is a more thorough explanation of what a bobbin is and what it does than i've ever gotten from her. she's super talented and cute and i love her very very much but for some reason she won't deign to explain to me how to do things she's good at like sewing and eyeliner lol

[@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

[@Zoe-rf3ly]

"every time I'm chinning it" so we all agree chin is a verb now, cool?

[@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!!

[@annmarie2548]

I came here to learn how to crop a hoodie, but I think you're hilarious! instantly subscribed!

[@jessieboylston9766]

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

[@IWishIHadABetterURL]

my dad just bought a sewing machine... i also just marie condo'd my clothes... is this... a sign?

[@rochelledickson2536]

Same....

[@rachaelhansen]

Hi Megan! if you put your pins in perpendicular to the seam you can just sew right over them. Then you know everything stayed perfectly in place.

[@clarabarrett7339]

Can you make a video sharing how you stay fit and healthy? I always find it super inspiring and you're honestly perfect.

[@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 ❤️❤️

[@ghadahabdullah8995]

here to say i love your hair! also, will definitely be trying to crop one of my hoodies

[@cheerleader0602]

"hug this together like a little piece of calamari" wow i loooooveeed that wow. totally stealing that

[@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!

[@nichelespeaks]

I have ZERO sewing skills and knowledge YET i’m totes going to attempt this look 💚 THANKS MEGAN

[@MleLin.]

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

[@jamessteel4243]

ive looked through heaps of these and yours is the best, respect

[@thecoolestjoe]

Megan you are just a joy to watch

[@vantoine3]

Why did love absolutely everything about this video?! I’m picking up a new hobby! 💕

[@gyeomiebearjohnny3266]

ok just found my new favourite channel

[@mzwc2738]

me watching this with complete focus knowing full well i will never actually do it

[@caitlynhays6635]

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

[@Danca4eva11]

The trying to look for a trashcan and throwing the thread on the floor anyways is my entire life with sewing lol! Love this tutorial and I'm definitely cropping the sweater I'm wearing when I get home!

[@Шьёмсмалышом]

Cool! I love changing clothes😍😍😍

[@rachelamber3227]

My dad bought me a semi-cropped hoodie for Christmas and I love it so much I want more of them. This helped a lot. But now I have to learn how to use my sewing machine 😂

[@sbill474]

I’m a guy and would never crop a top but I still watch to show support! I also watch Granger Smith. Sorry MeganBatoon I plugged a good country singer that having issues paying the band. He’s putting on free concerts. He did ask for as little as.1 cent if anyone can contribute but the concert is free on KZbin

[@aazersamuel4934]

Your hair is perfect! It looked great every second of the video

[@hannahrose266]

Any suggestions on tension and length settings? Her tutorials are great but I wish she would explain everything she's using on the machine, like which presser foot, stitch type, tension/stitch length. The simple way she explains certain techniques sometimes just flip a switch, turning difficult projects into a total breeze.If the machine settings were added, I'd be able to use even less brain power, and that's my kinda tutorial!

[@justinezupin3018]

OMG I wish I had your hair it's so pretty and curly!

[@sammiaamm9695]

Living for this hoodie transformation 😍

[@TeTe-qv6bl]

Watched nearly 4 minutes of your channel and I‘m subcribed

[@dorcastorres3517]

Don’t let go. Missed you last week!!

[@zoribeldejesus2282]

Quick tip! Instead of having to hold the hoodie down with your chin to pin it in the middle, just fold it in half, that will give you the perfect measurement and then you don't need a third hand because you are already holding the spot you need to pin! Good luck! Keep up the good work!

[@rowanaladawy3503]

Girl your hair is more than perfect wth you talking about 👌👌💕💕💕

[@busaj383]

Ok I have no urge to sooo or crop a hoodie ever but had to watch the whole thing because MaganB is just too adorable and lucky I did... cuz she is the best "chinner" in the business 🙌 Soe thnx 😊❤

[@romazoo]

Imagine the needle is a car. If you put the pins in going ACROSS the road rather than ALONG the road, you can just drive the sewing machine right over them without having to take them out as you go. Much quicker and easier, just take them out after its all sewn

[@aprillittle595]

Megan, FYI, if you put your pins in vertically instead of horizontally, you can actually sew right over them! Then you just remove them all after. Adorable project!

[@neyn6003]

You are hilarious ! I learned something and I had a good laugh at the same time. Thanks for the video

[@msanng1107]

I didn’t think I would wear a crop hoodie however ILove your energy so now I have to make 3 😂

[@LadyLotusRoot]

So cute! Thanks for sharing! A rotary cutter & ruler may help speed things up too 🤍

[@sabrryn]

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