For this hoodie makeover project we used the designs from the Snowflake and Cone Sets.
|
We decorated the back of the hoody.
|
|
On the front, we stitched-out only one design of a small cone.
|
|
You will need :
- embroidery threads, either polyester or rayon for embroidery (follow our color cards or choose colors to match your sweatshirt),
- light-weight cut-away embroidery stabilizer (it's very important to use a cut-away stabilizer!),
- a zip-front hoodie,
- iron,
- printer and embroidery software (optional).
|
Embroidery
|
Mark the position of the embroidery on the hoodie. If you have a printer and embroidery software, print-outs of the designs will be helpful. If not, you can cut out rectangles of the size of the designs and use them to position the designs.
Stabilize the chosen areas with light-weight cut-away stabilizer. Hoop the fabric tightly and embroider the designs one by one.
|
|
Cut away the excess stabilizer after every stitch-out. Cut close to the stitches, but do not try to remove it from under the embroidery. After washing, the stabilizer should remain under the embroidery and help maintain its shape.
