Take an old hoodie and make it amazing!


Check out this gorgeous sweatshirt that I made using Anita Goodesign Monogram designs!! In this video, I show you how to set up your designs and HOW TO HOOP THE SLEEVES!! This sweatshirt repurposing designs were created in 6 hoopings, including 3 for the sleeves, and ends up with a wow factor for the entire embroidery design, and my old sweatshirt looks amazing! I take you through step by step on how to set up your designs by printing out the templates and making sure they are straight on the sleeve, marking their position and then hooping. Hooping may take some time, but it is worth the time when you see the end result. Even if you don’t have large hoops, you can still do most of this layout with smaller hoops – it will take a few more hoopings to get the front done – I merged a few of the single designs and came up with a symetrical design that looks so pretty! You can position each of the single designs and mark the center and then hoop it as many times as you need to – it will still look great and no one will know how many hoopings you did! If you don’t have a sleeve hoop as I do, you can take apart the sleeve so you can have a flat surface to do the embroidery designs. This is a lot easier and you have more of the sleeve to work on – I could think of many ways to embroider an open sleeve so that it looks great!! I hope you guys like my hoodie and I hope that you will try to repurpose your old sweatshirts too! after all, if you don’t like the design that you create, you can simply toss an old sweatshirt, right?
