A Hoodie Make Over Plan

I got a nice hoodie for Christmas last year ... but it's plain. I thought I'd like to spice it up with a reverse applique but ... since I've never done this kind of thing before, I decided to experiment.

My neighbor was holding a garage sale and she had an old, faded hoodie on the line. At a quarter it was the perfect bargain for my trial run, so I bought it.

Now, as I said, I never did this kind of thing before but I jumped in and tried. (It's finished and in a later post I'll show how I did it but for now ...) The whole process was a mess. I made mistakes from the get-go but with luckily I was able to work around them and get the job done. (Next time I'll know how to do it right.)

I bought some bonding material and some contrasting thread. I already had the applique material that I picked up at another garage sale so I was ready to dig into it.
Next post I'll demonstrate the "wrong way" and how I worked around it.
