Dead about to do this to every pullover I have. And will continue to do it to every pullover I buy. Not enough zipups in this world
🤣🤣...I totally agree...I love my zipups
Just finished my 2nd hoodie transformation and it could not have gone better. I'm talking 2 pullovers I never put on because they were PITAs. Thanks for this I have a lot more to go. I wish I could give it more than 1 thumbs up!
I think this is really great cuz I have ALOT OF HOODIES. It gets freezing where I live, but I feel like I’m constantly taking them in and off and it gets really annoying. So I want to put them to better use and sew zippers into all of them to make my life easier.
I need this because at my school ii can't wear hoodies unless its the schools
Thanks for your video. I cannot wear one of my favorite sweatshirts because of arthritis in my shoulders. Now I can convert it and wear it again. 👍
If you don't mind me asking, what's the correlation between sweatshirts and arthritis?
@@oncearoundtheparkpls I have the same problem with my shoulder, and can't wear my hoodies. The problem comes when you need to move your shoulder when putting the pullover on, or removing it. I can no longer wear anything that requires full range of motion in one or both shoulders. The pain is excruciating. I don't have arthritis, I have adhesive capsulitis.
@@mrsbaj59 go to a chiropractor
@@hungruben844 if they're diagnosed they probably are taking the steps they need to help it already...
@@hungruben844 chiropractic care completely helped my "bad back" so I whole heartedly agree with your comment👍👍👍
I don't know if it's possible, but I would want to have some kind of overlock stitching at the edge of where the thick hoodie garment was cut to keep that edge from eventually fraying & fuzzing up. Maybe even some kind of cloth glue, or some of that fusible cloth, or 3M water protector. I wouldn't want to have to fold some of that over. I have 3 pullover hoodies I want to convert to zipper but at the same time I don't want to shorten the width of the hoodie where the zipper will be because there is some design & lettering on the front which I would ideally like to keep as continuous as possible. It's hard to explain.
I was thinking of adding a bias tape or similar to extend the width & cover the edge so the zipping & unzipping won't fray the edge. Then sew the zipper onto the bias tape. There will be a gap between any lettering or image. As long as it is an even or small gap, it may be something I could live with knowing that the edge won't fray. I like that idea of stabilizing underneath first before cutting.
Explained very well, nice method! Too hard to find camo hoodies that aren't pullover.
Great, understandable, simple to follow tutorial
Thx so much!!
Hmmm. I going to try. I just learned to sew a full body hoodie, but hoodie is as little off the middle. So maybe I could transform it to a zipper hoodie it will be Less noticeable I messed up. . Thanks for this idea!
I question cutting it afer putting in the zipper. As said, raw edges will fray after wear and washing. I do like the interfacing suggestion to hold in place.
Wanted to do this except I wanted to put zippers on both of the sleeves, like Byleth's jacket from FE:TH. Don't question why, I have y reasons lmao
Would i be able to do this by hand sewing? I don’t have sewing machine...
Eric Jones; Since no one got back to your question and it’s been a year, I’ll give you my opinion. Sewing by hand, (I believe) is weaker. I really like using a sewing machine for projects such as this one. I just think using a machine, the stitching holds up better. Just my opinion. Have you tried this? I actually just found this video. God bless friend 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I absolutely believe hand sewing will work... depending upon the stitch you use, of course.
how much would it cost to just have someone else do it?
$15-$20
I have a hoodie I love, but I kinda outgrew it. I’m going to do this.
who made this video? does she have a channel?
I'd like to follow her for more sewing tuts!
Would this work with a velour pullover sweatshirt? Crew neck.
Yes, I believe it would 👍🏻👍🏻
Okay I understand everything except I don't get the part about the hood itself. Can someone share an inside out picture of the hood seam please?
Thankyou for this! It was easy to follow!
omg! thank you for this you made it so simple i can’t wait to try on my work hoodie❤
Excellent. And I found I had a zipper foot! I never knew!!
Uhhh hate to break it to you but you said this would work with a hand held needle
Will this work for windbreakers?
Wonderful brilliant video thanks for posting
I'm surprised that no any more thing is done after cutting the hoodie. Both sides of the cutting won't keep looking good avec a while. Borders will wear away or bubble.
English please.
he is saying that this is not the correct way to install a zipper because both the zipper-tape and fabric edges are unfinished. after a short time the fabric will fray and look bad.
It may not fray but it may roll regardless of the interfacing. I think it was done this way because of the design on the shirt otherwise you'd cut the hoodie first. Id then turn the hoodie inside out and with right sides together sew it back together with a stay stitch about 5/8 inch from the edge. Iron the stitch open then do what she did except instead of cutting seam rip the stay stitch
@@emoja30 ..or maybe make stitches far enough apart to simply pull that stich by hand? I could see that👍
I wish I pay someone to sew my pullover hoodie.
SAMEEE i don’t trust myself to do it
any good cleaners shop, if they do minor things like shorten clothing, can do it. Also tailors, but they am be more expensive for this simple procedure
After cutting, it leaves a raw edge. Hmmm.. How long before it frays and doesn't look good, I wonder. One wash?
The title should be how to ruin a hoodie.
I'm thinking that a zigzag stitch should have gone alongside the straight stitch when sewing in the zipper.
Fleece does not fray. But it will roll. There is a different technique to apply a zipper that would end up with a finished edge in the front.
@@ruthdodge-arnold9439 a link to said technique would have been nice, thank you.
how do i turn a zip up into a pullover
36JakeTheSnake36 thats what im trying to look for too, but I cant seem to find a video on it :(
I'm not sure if you will see this, but you can put some fusible stuff on each side of the zippers. Then cut through the middle of the fusible stuff. Then sow both sides together. In the end it will most likely end up smaller than it was before though. I haven't tried it so it might not work, so do it at the risk of your zip-up
You can just zip it up and then pull it over your head every time you take it on and off.
Where can i get this hoodies? (The lifehacker logo looks cool)
Please don't do it this way. You should put the zipper on the right side, right sides together, sew it on. then fold it over and top stitch it so you don't have a raw edge. this looks so bad and is going to fray after the 1st wash
Awesome video!!!!
How would I go about doing this on a quarter zip?
I cant comprehend how u cut down the middle of the hoodie with the zupper attached😐😐😐
Very Helpful THANKYOU!!🙏🏾❤
Does this apply for double zipper pulls style also?!?!
I wish I could do this
You can brotha!
You can, don’t short change yourself. If you have a sewing machine, give it a go! God bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Directions look easy enough. I absolutely think you can, IF you have access to a sewing machine. I'm wondering if mine has a zipper foot🤔
Making it into a jacket this way will the edges fray?
No the edges don't fray.
Curl, maybe
OMG, I was going to the seamstress to get 3 zippers out into sweatshirts
Thank you
Brilliant, Amazing, creative, Awesome, , thank you, now I can turn my hoodie into zipper hoodie, :)
doing this on my bape 😤😤😤
Lightweight fusible what ???
