Makin' the Cut

How to turn a hoodie sweatshirt into an off-the-shoulder sweatshirt (so dirty dancing hot!)

Things you'll need
* Sweatshirt (I found this awesome one at a thrift store for $2.50 ha ha)
* Sharp Scissors (in my case my mom's hee hee)

Step 1...lay sweatshirt on a flat surface

step 2...decide how off the shoulder you want it (the closer you make your snips to the shoulder seams, the wider the neck line will be)
step 3...cut a small snip on both sides (i do mine about 1 1/2 inches in, anymore than that and I find myself having to adjust all day...super annoying ha ha ha)

step 4...cutting only the front of the sweatshirt cut in a U shape from snip to snip trying for a continuous cut....smoother line that way.

step 5...hold up the fabric that has been cut out of your way and make a continuous cut in a straight line across the back (cutting the back straight instead of in a U shape like in the front will keep the sweatshirt on your shoulders better ha ha or you could end up with your sweatshirt falling around your waist....not the most modest look ha ha

step 6...once you are done cutting all the way pull the neck line till it stretches a little and it gets this super cool rolled edge.

Tada......

Happy Chopping :)

p.s I will blog soon to show you what to do if you get a little too chop happy and make the neck line too big so DON'T throw any "mistakes" away, it's totally fixable and super cute!!!

much love & more to come,
