Sweatshirt



If I were five, I would probably be really happy with this sweatshirt. It was supposed to be a zipper hoodie, but the zipper went in wrong and the hood was too heavy and uncomfortable. So I sewed up the front and then put this stupid floral ribbon on. At that point, the fabric was really stretched out and hung open unattractively, so I added a zipper. Then I realized that the zipper had a metal stop at both ends (made for a pocket) instead of just the bottom. Fortunately, the whole thing fits over my head. I vow to stop adding decoration to conceal bad sewing. This always happens when I sew while I’m in a bad mood. I’ve got to stop being such an expressionist.

This is exactly the kind of piece I'm looking for with this project - this piece is so quirky and loveable!
