Embellished shoulder sweatshirts are a big trend right now and super cute! And, a trend I can get behind. It's a stylish sweatshirt that I can wear on the weekend and not feel like I'm wearing gym wear while running errands. As I started pricing them, the one I liked that is, was a little more than I wanted to spend on a sweatshirt. So I decided to make my own!
The original piece that inspired me is now sold out, because the trend is so cute, but I found two others that are just as darling. The gray one is from ASOS (no longer available) and the beige one is MNG for Mango at JCPenney.
It took me forever to find the right sweatshirt but I found it! At Target! How I love Target! I went with a peach color because I have so many gray tops. And, I thought it would be a good neutral. I was right! Then I started shopping for my embellishments. I've scoured the craft stores and stumbled on some clearance items from Michael's. I was finally set! Here is what you will need:
Sweatshirt
Embellishements
Craft Glue for Fabric
Scissors
Once you have what you need, lay out your pattern on the shoulder. Follow the directions on the craft glue on how they recommend use. For this particular one, it stated to apply the glue directly to the fabric and then add embellishment. What was even better is that these were stickers as well so I have a double reinforcement!
After completing one shoulder, move on to the next. The end result looks like this!
I am so happy with the finished product. It wasn't hard at all, just a little time consuming. When all was said and done, I spent $30. I came in under the cost of the above sweatshirts and I love that it's my own design. Would you make your own?
Want to see how I wore it? Tune in tomorrow!
