Repairing a sweatshirt and making it cute

 My friend Jackie Sanders, who I worked with on Cowgirls back in 1996, has a sweatshirt that she loves, but had gotten a bit holey.  I had been working with decorative repairs and hoodie lining, so we decided to play.  The ribbing was replaced and Jackie picked a jersey and I got to stitching.  
Going along with my quest to reduce, reuse, recycle, the jersey was a t-shirt that was purchased from Thred-up.  The ribbing came from  Fabric Made.




This is the final result.  Jackie was extremely pleased and her husband  Bill Hayes dubbed me "The Jazz Seamstress"!


I actually shot a video on lining the hoods on sweatshirts....oh, at least a year ago.  I really should edit that!
