I've made 14 sweatshirt jackets. Took off the cuffs and opened the front and sides. Added 1.5 inch strips all over. Can use several colors or match colors. I did one diaginal half from bottom the up and down rest of the front and back. Added a collar and placket on the front and buttons and buttonholes. Looking forward to making one on a demin shirt. Haven't decided which colors or which way I'll start. Lots of fun.
