Creative sweatshirt transformation processfrom @upcyclex

[01]

Overview

The creator showcases the process of upcycling three different colored sweatshirts into a single, unique garment. They begin by drawing and cutting out interlocking face silhouette patterns from a green and a yellow sweatshirt. Finally, they use a sewing machine to stitch the cut pieces onto a beige sweatshirt, and conclude by displaying the finished, color-blocked piece from multiple angles.
