i bought a Free People hoodie (the only brand loyalty i've ever known, running deep since high school), got it home and realized i could make something similar that i liked even more. story of my life. it's backless with a slightly over-sized hood, you know, dreamy. i'm bad with "before" documenting, but i started with an old royal blue zip up hooded sweatshirt and that beloved pixelated floral fabric and this is what came out of the oven....


making a sailor-inspired one for my sister so i'll post close-ups of that one. not doing it here because i'm sick, exhausted and full on a fried cashew butter, fig jam and swanky cheese sammmmich (noted in my 50 pound eyelids and 'no energy' expressions). thinking this might be my next big production project? recycled sweatshirts, recycled fabric for the hoods, rad design in time for warm weather. me likes.
