You can turn that sporty hoodie into a chic, off-the-shoulder slouchy sweater by using a pair of scissors, even if you have little knowledge about sewing. Here are some tips for you to know how to cut a hoodies into a slouchy sweater.
More Instructions
1), Lay the hoodie on a flat surface. Wash and dry it before you cut it up.
2), Using sharp scissors to cut up the hoodie. Cut off the hood off together with the collar. At the collar, make a 1-inch vertical slit in the front, about midway from shoulder to shoulder. If you are afraid of cutting it uneven, mark the areas that will be cut with a pencil or pen.
3), Cut around the collar of the hoodie, both in the front and in the back. Cut off an even amount of 1 inch all around.
4), Fix up the collar until it looks even all around, in the front and in the back. Cut off any frayed ends for a neater shape. The collar does not need to be even.
5), Have a try of your new slouchy sweater. It should fall loosely onto your shoulders, or even slide off of one shoulder. If the collar is too small, repeat steps 2 through 4 to make it slightly bigger by cutting off an additional 1/2 inch or so all around.
6), Try with the sweater by cutting the sleeves or its bottom. Try making it
asymmetrical by cutting the bottom of it diagonally so that one side is longer than the other.
