Description:
It's hard to imagine a more comfortable, all-purpose garment than the sweatshirt, but the item is hardly a positive fashion statement--until now. More Sweatshirts with Style shows a multitude of ways to morph the lowly exercise-wear into attractive, colorful, and still very comfortable clothing. By altering or replacing collars and cuffs; adding yokes, pockets, hem extensions, and sleeve trims; embellishing with applique, embroidery, buttons, zippers, and trims; or even completely changing the pullover style into a cardigan design, the humble sweatshirt becomes a unique and stylish wearable. Each of the 45 ideas is clearly explained in step-by-step instructions and line-art diagrams, and illustrated with a color photo of the finished product. Whether you have a drawer full of plain sweats begging for some help, or you generally avoid them altogether because they seemed too ordinary or shapeless for your wardrobe, you'll find many fun ways to transform both your sweatshirts and your attitude towards them. --Amy Handy
