Hoodie Scarf Tutorial

[zombied]

After a week of unraveling thread because I did not make sure I have right sides together before sewing, here's the Hoodie Scarf Tutorial!

To make this hoodie scarf:

First, find two XL t-shirts or suitable fabric. If you are using t-shirts, cut off the seams at the bottom of the shirts. The following directions are for both t-shirts, so just do everything twice, once for each tee. Cut two tubes approximately 6 inches in width (or to taste).

Use the back of what's left of the t-shirt to make the hood. Cut off the sleeves and cut out the back.

Fold the back of the t-shirt in half and cut out a hood shape, an exaggerated "J". You will end up with a half circle shape.

Next, cut the half circle hood in half like so.

Then, with right sides together, sew up the curved edge of the hood.

With right sides together, tuck one hood inside the other and sew both pieces together along the straight edge. Leave the bottom of the hood open.

Now, leaving the hood, go to the tubes and cut the tubes in half. You now have a total of four long rectangles.

Sew two matching rectangles to get one long scarf length rectangle.

With right sides together, pin the two scarf pieces together. Turn hood right side out.

Tuck hood in between the two scarf pieces like this.

Seriously, make sure all right sides are together. Now, sew up scarf but keep in mind two things: leave a large opening so that you can turn scarf right side out AND sew around the hood, not straight through.

For example, when I get to the hood, I would separate the black part of the hood from the red part. I would sew the black part of the hood to the black part of the scarf. Then, I would go around and sew the red part of the hood to the red part of the scarf.

Once done sewing up the scarf (leaving a large opening), put your arm through scarf and pull scarf right side out.

Sew up the opening (using a whipstitch makes the stitches almost invisible), and wear scarf!

Ignore my cat please.

Awesome! Thanks for the tut :)

[kate]

Cute! Love it!

[craftykp]

this'll be fun to do when I'm bored and feeling creative. Thanks for the tute!

[Doon Breaker Of The Fixed]

Must... make... right... now

[zombied]

I'd love to see your version! Please post pics when you do make 'em.

[CaterpillarHero]

thats brilliant! also seems easy enough to make, though i have a nack for messing up the simplest of designs :/

But i'll try it anyway!

[Casmuffin]

This looks freakin' awesome! Haha, so innovative. I'm going to savers this friday so i'll be sure to pick up a couple shirts for this :)

[ladyjanewriter]

Wow! That's great! Thanks.

I'm having trouble visualizing the last bit...it's not your tute, it's me! I'm mentally having trouble turning the scarf and hood right side out all at once...I'll read it thru maybe 5 more times and then I'll get it.

[zombied]

Hey LJ, the trick is that...hm...how can I say this...when you sewed the hood onto the scarf, you left an opening between the hood and the scarf, which is why you have to carefully sew the hood so that it's not closed. Took me a couple of go to get that one right. That's probably where you have trouble visualizing, cause that's the tricky part of the whole project.

[ladyjanewriter]

Oh...

Sew 1/2 of the hood to 1 side of the scarf (in the midpoint)

leave a hood-sized hole in the scarf at the midpoint.

turn entire thing right side out, both scarf and hood.

Pop "inside" lining of hood into the hood.

Stitch hood (which is now fully pinned together correctly) closed.

Whip-stitch the big-a$$ hole in the scarf part shut.

Finito.

Something like that?

[zombied]

Now I'm having trouble visualizing! LOL This sounds about right, not exactly what I did, but I think this will work just as well, if not better!

After 2 hours and much much thread I present:
Now 'hypoallergenically' wrapped Sir Pink sporting a hoodie scarf.

I actually had lots of trouble with the hood to scarf part and flipping/sewing it so it was the right way out. But I sorta cheated by flipping the whole thing right side up first then pinning it in the right places and flipping it back =P

I like the colours red and black but I saw that the zombied's tuts one was red and black too >_< so I changed it up a bit by making the 2 halves of the hood the differing colours instead of outer/inner. =D

[zombied]

Can I say, THIS IS THE BEST HOODIE SCARF!! Sir Pink is so adorable!! Thank you! That made my day!

[exequias]

Whooo thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. ^_^ I like how it turned out too kinda harlequin-esque colour contrast.

Thanks for the tut too!

Yup Sir Pink was formerly Mr Pink, he was knighted a while ago though at the moment he's mummified in plastic to prevent him collecting too much dust.

[melodyrain]

sweet! thanks for the tutorial :)

[Glitterimage2]

love the scoodie

[craigdiesel666]

The scoodie reminds me of Milla Jovovich in Resident Evil 3.

Very cool project, Zombied!

[kajed]

thank you indeed
cheers!

[kzk]

Oooh, I love this.
I should make one before the weather gets warm, but you can never tell when that's going to be when you live in Kansas.
It shall be green with horns and spikes, like a dragon of awesome.
I'll take pictures.

[SamHanCreates]

awesome! i been looking for these all over

[Tigakatze]

Is there a way to reactivate the pictures?

I would be highly interested in the tutorial but without pictures it's not of much help.

[roxxie94]

[heynightmare]

aww I can't see it....

[nightowlbunny]

[openhearts]

Umm, I'm sorry but I can't see the pics.
