LEATHER IS TRENDING PART 4

Whether it's short sleeves, long sleeves or even hoodies, leather is still trending. These two are available from Urban Outfitters.

$54

$64

Revolve Clothing offers this girl's version for $138. Are they crazy?!

Since, I already made my son three shirts, why not try to make him a sweatshirt this time.

Materials:

Old dance routine outfit 

Sweatshirt from Unique

I cut the legs off of the jumpsuit and the sleeves off the sweatshirt.

Turned everything inside out and pinned each sleeve onto the sweatshirt.

After sewing one side and messing up and then getting it right on the other sleeve; here's the result. 

see the pucker on the sleeve

It looks a little plain though, so I decided to add the cuffs. I used a seam ripper and removed the cuffs.

I sewed on the cuffs and re-did the sleeve.

So, my son came home from college to watch the Superbowl, and guess what, he got bigger since Christmas. He tried on the sweatshirt and it was too tight in the torso. I asked him, "What have you been doing?" He said, "eating and lifting weights."

LEATHER IS TRENDING PART 3

Leather will always be trending. I've made two faux leather shirts for my son, here and here, this time, I'm gonna make one using real leather.

I went to Walmart and bought a boys size 2XL Hanes sweatshirt. Since this is for my son and he prefers a slimmer fit, a mens sweatshirt would have been too bulky. And once again, I'm gonna use my old leather coat.

All I need is the back panel of the coat, so I cut off the surrounding material.

I cut the bottom off, because it was too long.  Used a ruler to center the leather panel. And traced the panel on the front of the sweatshirt and then cut it out.

Next, I turned the sweatshirt inside out and pinned it on the sweatshirt. 

After constantly sticking myself with the pins and about an hour of sewing, here is the finished product.

Here's my son rockin' it.

I love how he's not afraid to wear my creations!
