Restyling Sweatshirts-No Sweat
Top Row:
1. Simple Embroidery stitches in bright, fun colours dress up a blah sweatshirt with fashionable style.
2. Zip & Contrast Sleeves give this shirt a fashion edge by sewing a zipper into the raglan seam and adding contrast tshirt sleeve bottoms.
3. Spray Paint Skyline is so easy - fabric paint spray, a cardboard cutout of a city skyline, spray and voila, a bright skyline.
Middle Row:
4. Gathered Shoulders restyle this oversized sweatshirt into something special.
5. Uptown Sweats by breaking up a necklace, spray painting the beads and sewing on in allover pattern.
Bottom Row:
6. Fuzzy Felt Elbows using felt or felting with a heart cookie cutter.
7. Lacy 'n Feminine and sheer by attaching lace fronts to a hoodie.
8. Knitted Up Front and attaching the knitted piece to the cut out front of a sweatshirt.
Thank you for the overwhelming popularity of the original post - No Sweat - Sweatshirt Makeovers - it inspired me to post No Sweat 2.
Hopefully the ideas in this post will be just as inspiring. Enjoy!

Top Row:
1. Bleach Pen Painting | love the painterly effects you get and really no "mistakes"

Middle Row:
4. Ombre Dyeing | very effective on prints such as this striped tshirt
5. Marker Printing | using permanent markers to make bold graphic designs.
Bottom Row:
6. Painterly Flowers | no written tutorial, but images are easy to follow.
7. Sharpie Dyeing | bleeding Sharpie Pen ink marks with alcohol.
8. Potato Printing | great way to ease into stamping and printing with kids
