Part 1
Cutting Out Your Fabric Pieces
- Choose the right fabric. There are a variety of materials that can be used to make the perfect hoodie. It is crucial to pick the right fabric. It is possible to choose either a lightweight or heavy fabric based on how warm you’d like the hoodie to feel.
Be sure to purchase more material than you’ll need. Two yards should be sufficient to make a large hoodie.
- Make use of an old sweatshirt with a hood to cut out the body pieces. There is no need for any pattern to design the sweatshirt. You can take an old sweatshirt that has a hood to use as a reference. Place your sweatshirt with a hood on top of the doubled-up fabric. After that, fold the arms and the hood in such a way that you only have just the body in draw an outline. Then, trace around the body of the hoodie approximately one” (2.5 centimeters) to the edge, to create the seam allowance.
Select an old sweatshirt with a hood identical to the one you’re planning to make. This will make sure that you are getting the correct dimensions.
If you have trouble to get around the arms and hood then you could also make use of a t-shirt for guide. But you’ll need the sweatshirt to serve as a reference for the other components that make up the hoodie.
You can trace armpits of the sweatshirt in order to find the pieces of the arm. Fold one of the arms from your sweatshirt. Then, align the top of the sleeve. This will be in line with the folded edge of your fabric, and line up the armpit region of the sleeve. Then, line up the other side of the fabric. Utilize your chalk to draw approximately 1″ (2.5 centimeters) from the lower part of the sleeve, and the wrist region to ensure sufficient seam allowance. Cut according to the chalk lines.
Be sure to not cut across the fold edge. Keep this folded.
Repeat the same process to make the second sleeves.
- Follow the contours of the hood and make the hood pieces. Then, fold the fabric once more to create four layers. Then, put the hood in place in a way it’s edges meet and the hood is placed on its side. Place the hood portion of your sweatshirt on top the fabric stack however, do not fret about how to line it up by folding it. Draw the outline of the hood on the fabric’s top layer using chalk. Then, cut through the four layers using the chalk lines.

Wristbands are not required. If you’d prefer to take them off, you are able to bypass this step and simply tie the sleeves’ ends instead.
- Create a long strip to form the bottom part that will be the bottom of your sweatshirt. Fold the fabric in two layers. Cut out four” (10cm) large strip of fabric which is exactly the same size as the length of your bottom body parts. To determine this number take a measurement of from the top of the body parts and then multiply the measurement.
For instance, if the top of your piece has a width of twenty” (51 cm), then you will need to cut out a strip that is 40″ (102 cm) long.
The bottom band is not required. If you’d prefer to remove it then do this and simply hem the top of your sweatshirt.
- Make your pocket pieces. The pocket appears like an oval with curves on the two corners at the top. The pocket can be placed on a sweatshirt that you already have to aid in achieving the right shape, or simply draw the shape on your own. You can design the pocket as big or as small as you want.
The pocket is an option too. If you do not want an actual pocket, do not bother with this step.
