Probably the most worn DIY from this year (for me) would have to be this denim and lace shirt. I've worn it so many times. Maybe too many times. Maybe. That easy project inspired this winter/athletic spin on the idea. What I love is that you could use any color hoodie or any color lace you prefer to customize to your own unique style and taste. I like grey and white, because I'm boring. π
1. Supplies: Hoodie, lace, scissors, sewing pins, sewing machine. 2. Begin by cutting out the front of the hoodie, leaving 1/4 inch from the seam and the front pocket. 3. Use this section that you just cut out as a template to cut out the lace section. Cut it out 1/4 inch larger for a seam allowance. 4-5. Next, turn the hoodie inside out and pin the lace section in place where the front of the hoodie use to be. When pinning, be sure both seams are facing upward, so that it won't be visible once it's turned right side out. 6. Lastly, pin and stitch the pocket in place.
Have fun making your own glammed up sweatshirt! π xo. Emma + Kinsey

I LOVED the denim and lace shirt. Am adamant that I will make my own this summer. This hoodie is super cool too. I am boring as well and would probably go for all over black.

I have this hoodie reversed with arm parts in lace π But isn’t the lace waaaay too cold for this season of the year?!
I love this idea, and the denim one! I want to try these DIY’s in a few months when it gets a bit warmer here. Lace is so pretty for the spring months.

Spectacular! thanks for doing what you do. (google translator) honey from Spain
Love this. I’m determined, this new year, to revitalise some of my old and unworn wardrobe items by revamping. This hoodie is fab! Lace is so on-trend and I have just the hoodie to do it with! Brilliant!
Trop trop bien! Love it!

this is the cutest EVER! I always love your ideas but this one is the cherry on the sundae! LOVE IT!
Love this! The saddest part of throwing on a hoodie (which I’m prone to do since they’re so dang comfy) is then nobody can see what you’re wearing underneath… fixed!
So chic! Love how you mixed these trends.
This is so cute, what a great idea!

cute.
you could also reverse the idea and do lace sleeves and a lace pocket just to mix it up. i wish my sewing machine wasn’t in storage right now!
Oh my! I don’t have any lace on hand but I do have the most perfect fabric to improvise with! thank youu
This is AWESOME! I have three sweatshirts I want to do this with right away!! Once again you blow my mind with seriously creative ideas π
This is such a good idea! I love textily post being a textile enthuast myself, love the diys and give it a go myself.

I’m making my first own hoodie right now. This could very well be my next project… I love hoodies, so comfy and the lace just makes it so pretty!
Ooh.. Or maybe I could just lace out a pocket of a shirt or something π
This turned out awesome! I love the look – one because I love hoodies and two because now I don’t have to look like I just rolled out of bed wearing one π Thank you!

I really love this. Still looks like a hoodie but with half the bulk.
Absolutely love it!

Wow! Really love this tutorial, very “romantic”. Now, where can I find a hoodie….
great idea. =)
This looks great! I have a question about sewing with lace, though- it’s so delicate and rips easily. I was using lace in a different project (a dress) and it ripped almost immediately, near the seams. How do you avoid weakening the lace with the seams?
I love this combination!! Comfy and dainty all in one π

I might try that, but with the lace in the back instead of the front. Now to see if I can find some lace and borrow a sewing machine…
adorable!
