I bought a white sweatshirt at a yard sale, never worn, really nice. I wanted to do something with it like you do. A jacket. But then my mind was blank. Thank you so much for some fun ideas. I never thought of a pocket. I'm excited to make this. I hope it works. I'm not very good at sewing even though I. Enjoy sewing. 💜
Hi, i have a sweatshirt I loved, that was too big for me after losing 3 stone. So I chopped off the cuffs, overlocked them, then did what you did with the weaving on the chest. I absolutely love it now. So, thank you for the inspiration. 😀
Gday Julia, all i can say is your amazing, wish i had the thought process you have LOL, so very clever. Have an awesome day/night xxxx love from australia xxx
Hi Julia - More awesome designs! You really do give me so much inspiration. Those won’t last long in your shop. Love how you slit the shirt and added the fabric designs with stitching!!! Love how you made the fabric piece and buttons for the closure. You are so clever. Love seeing the end results because I know they will be amazing. Enjoy the last days of summer in your neck of the woods. Seems that we still have warm days ahead. I sure hope so. See ya next time! Love & Hugs! 💕🙏🏻
Hi Pam! Fall is in the air and I'm winding up at the flea. Another year in the books! My daughter is visiting again. It is sure nice that her new beau is from the area, I'm seeing lots of her this summer. We are hoping for a long, warm Fall like last years. Have a great week! Julia
Genius! 🥰 As an extremely picky sweatshirt purchaser, I love that you buy quality 80/20 sweatshirts! Idk how many other people are "allergic" to high polyester content, but even the 50/50 blends make me itch and feel claustrophobic! Your brain must be going 24/7 with all the new ideas you constantly have! Lucky us that you choose to share them! Thank you once again Julia! 💐 Brenda 🌼
Hi Brenda, I so agree with the sweatshirt quality. I can't put the work into a poor quality shirt. Cotton sweatshirts are getting harder to find but I'm always on the search. Thanks for watching, Julia
These are sooooo great Julia! Thank you! Have you ever upcycled a hooded sweatshirt? I'm not brave enough to just try it, lol! I love your creativity! You make everything look so simple. 😍 Have a great week! Brenda 🎉
More great inspiration! Now I just need the courage to cut up a few things! I bought several neat sweaters last year at Costco and I love them as is, but I might turn one into a jacket since I love what you've done. Thanks again.
Felicitaciones Julia, me encantan este tipo de poryectos, eres muy creativa y me encanta como combinnas telas , colores y texturas. Es hermoso lo que has hecho, Saludos desde Chile.
I’m not sure which one I love more? Soooo cute! Julia, do you have a P.O. Box where viewers/supporters can gift you sewing stuff? I’ve had a few things set aside for you. Let me know! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Robin, You are so sweet! At this time I do not have a PO. If you can send me a quick message on e-mail, I can give you my address. My e-mail is stitchesbyjulia@yahoo.com. You are doing such an amazing job on your channel. So professional!
Thanks for sharing Julia! ❤️ You are so creative and really have an eye for color matching and details and how to get this fantastic arty look on your designs! You really inspire me ☺️❤️
You need to offer classed. You are so creative. I am looking at one of my. sweatshirts and wondering how I can take some of your ideas and jazz it up. Thank you.
Hi Julia, I’m new to your channel and I love it. I’m wondering about sizing of the sweatshirts. If I wear an extra large and want to make the blue one (cardigan )for myself, should I size up to an xxl? Thank you! I just love your creativity.
I usually recommend sizing up when doing a jacket. Some of the width is taken away when you cut it down the middle and turn it back. Hope this helps. Have fun sewing! Julia
I love what you do with your sweatshirts! 🤗 We just paid almost $30 each for some long sleeved t shirts for a new employee that didn't work out. His name is on it. Have you done any cutie pie things with those? (6 shirts!) I'd like to put my name on a couple of them and maybe cut the crew neck like you do. Any suggestions? Do you think I could use the blanket stitch on it too? (Maybe a future tutorial?) 😉 Thanks Julia! Brenda 🌼
Hi Brenda, I've been using long sleeve tees in my summer shop this year. I'll have to do a video on them.. I have been adding a draw string at the bottom, some I made 3/4 sleeve. I sold many of them, they were popular. I don't like working with a tee shirt weight knit as well as a sweatshirt knit. The blanket stitch may be a bit tricky. I find a stabilizer under the design is a must so the knit doesn't stretch when sewing the design on. Hope this helps, Julia
@@stitchesbyjulia oh I would love to see a tutorial on that!!! Great tip on the stabilizer and I can see why you'd prefer working with the sweatshirt materials. Maybe I should take some scrap tee shirts to practice on for the edge stitching. Perhaps just a zigzag would be better? I'll be looking for your new tutorials! (Like I always do!) Thanks for responding! You're the best!!! 🥰 Brenda 🌼
Hi Vickie, I show how I do it in this video :ruclips.net/video/ZLrFqzJfkxU/видео.html I cut up the side seams and then edge finish. I am using a serger in this video but you can also use an appliqué or stretch stitch on your regular sewing machine. This really helps open up the bottom giving more wiggle room. Hope this helps, Julia

You can do it! Using a yard sale sweatshirt is the place to start- sewing takes practice. Remember to enjoy the process! Julia
Loved these! Especially the blue one!
I really like your button holes. What a cute idea!!
Buttonholes scare me- LOL. This is the easy way to make them. Thanks for watching, Julia
Very cute!
One of a kind. Very clever.

So cute! Love that appliqué stitch.
i started watching your tutorials a few years ago. you have been an inspiration to me. I am quilting now.

These turned out so cute. I have a couple of new sweatshirts I have had for a while, maybe I will attempt to do something similar. Thanks for sharing.
Your sweatshirts are tubular, dude! Sorry, couldn't resist. :) Thank you!
Both sweatshirts turned out beautifully. And their colors are great! Love the batik fabric you used. Thanks for sharing.
You are so creative! This is really cool❣🥰 thanks
Great project, you have a fantastic imagination, thanks for sharing 👍
Hi from Texas. Clever and awesome. Thank you. Button holes can be challenging at times.
Buttonholes scare me. It always seems like the first couple turn out great and then %&#%%!! LOL, Thanks for watching, Julia
Your ideas and execution always amaze me. The jacket was my favourite.
Living for your handmade creations! Wish I could all do them. :)

Cute!! 🙏🏻
Unique garments. They will be snapped up.
Do you have a video showing how to make a sweatshirt have slits? The band is too tight I would like to just put slits in it if it can be done. Thanks!

I’m guess I’m not the only one who hates the buttonhole stitch. Seems it is always a pain.
Especially on knits! One will turn out OK and the next one is "yuck".
