Pin Recipe
Yield: 1 hoodie
Cost: Under $10
Equipment
- scissors
- pins
- sewing machine
Materials
- 1 Hoodie
- ¼ yard Fleece 60" wide bolt
Instructions
- Cut 18 triangles from fleece.Note: The base of the triangle should be 3.5". The sides can be whatever you'd like, but mine were 4".
- Stitch the sides of the triangle using a ⅜" seam. Trim close to the seam. Leave the bottom open. Turn the triangles right side out.
- Lay the hoodie on your work surface and cut down the center of the hood section. Continue cutting down the back of the hoodie until you have 2 sections. Yes, you are cutting the ENTIRE hoodie in half, down the back!
- Place the spikes along the back edge of one hoodie section. Pin into place.
- Attach the other section of the hoodie by pinning it into place, sandwiching the spikes in between the two layers. Make sure the side seams line up on the hood section and the bottom hoodie hem.Note: You'll need to remove the pins that you previously used to arrange the spikes and add them again to create the sandwich of layers.
- Sew a ⅝" seam along the entire edge, starting at the hood and continuing down to the bottom edge.Note: see how the bottom hem lines up perfectly? That is what I'm talking about in step 5. Don't start sewing until you've made sure you've pinned it just right!
Notes
Fleece washes well. You can wash and dry this dinosaur hoodie costume as you normally would for any other hoodie.
