I don't know about you, but my wardrobe could always use a little freshness! Here is some inspiration I found for Luxe Sweatshirts:
Anthropologie
1.
2.
Nordstrom
3.
4.
And here is how I turned my plain sweatshirt into a Luxe Sweatshirt.
You will need:
1 Old sweatshirt
Lace (a pretty brocade fabric would also be gorgeous)
Sewing materials
Light spray adhesive
Instructions:
1. Cut out some lace to fit the front of your sweatshirt, excluding the arms. I cut mine so that there was some scallops on the bottom. Depending on the lace you use, it may not have scallops on the edge.
2. Lightly spray some adhesive on the front of the sweatshirt and lay the lace flat on the front. Pin down, making sure not to pin the back.
3. Sew all the way around using the zig-zag stitch.
4. Carefully trim off any excess lace. I also cut out the "V" at the top of my sweatshirt, but that's maybe just preference.
It's kinda hard to see the lace in the photos. But I did my best. Seriously, it took me longer to model for the AFTER pictures than it did for me to make the darn thing. It would also be totally cute to do a black sweatshirt with white lace or vice versa or several pieces of lace like in the one Anthropologie example above.
Hope you enjoyed today's sweatshirt restyle! As always, email if you have any questions and have fun!
