@crust_young How to make an afterhood sweatshirt! I love the look of these 1940s and 1950s sweatshirts. The split pockets, the contrasting colors, and the open neck on the hood make them the ideal hoodie imo. The process is relatively simple, and a perfect way to upcycle some old sweatshirts you don’t wear anymore! Sewn on to a beautifully faded @Ralph Lauren crewneck sweatshirt! #upcycling #vintagefashion #sewingtiktok #sewingtutorial #hoodie

The creator provides a step-by-step tutorial on how to create a vintage-style 'afterhood' sweatshirt. He begins by showing how to deconstruct an old hoodie by removing its pocket and hood with a seam ripper. He then demonstrates how to attach the pocket and the prepared hood onto a separate crewneck sweatshirt, providing tips on pinning, sewing with a twin needle, and reinforcing the seams for durability, before showcasing the final upcycled garment.

How to take an old hoodie and a crewneck and make it into an after hood sweatshirt. The first thing you need to do is using a seam ripper, take off the front pocket and the hood of the old hoodie. Take your time with this. You don't wanna accidentally rip the pocket or the hood. Next, you're gonna wanna block out where everything goes. For the front pocket, you can either do one of these big ones or these split pockets, which I think are really cool. For this one though, I am gonna do the big front kangaroo pouch and a little hack for pinning it into place. Put a piece of hard plastic inside the hoodie no that way your needle doesn't accidentally go through the other side. Now using a twin needle, I'm just gonna sew the pocket down. And when you're finished, you might have some leftover fabric on the inside of the pocket. This is super easy with sweatshirts. You can just go right in and cut all that off. You don't have to worry about it fraying. Now it looks way cleaner. Here's how the front pocket looks right no, but I'm also gonna gonna do one thing by the opening of the pockets. On these corners, I'm gonna go back and tack down some extra thread. Just strengthen up those areas because they see a lot of use. Moving to the hood, I'm gonna take a bunch of these clips and then I'll turn the raw edges of the hood fabric in on itself, pin it into place, and iron everything down. Now switching back to a single needle on my machine, I'm gonna do a very basic straight stitch right across the bottom of the hood. This is what it will look like when you're done. And now we pin the hood into place on the body of the sweatshirt. One thing to note here, the end of the hood should actually go below the collar of the sweatshirt. Here's a better look for reference. And then with the hood centered and everything pinned into place, I'm gonna do a straight stitch twice across. One above the stitch we just made and then one below. So in the end, you should have three stitches across your good. And that's it, here's your final result of an after good hoodie. I love the style of those 1940s 1950s sweatshirts and if you don't want to make one yourself, I made two of these and they're gonna be on sale on my Instagram right no.
