The art of the homemade sweatshirt

Fashion, this eternal new beginning... For several months now, the sweatshirt has been displayed without complex on the catwalks and on the stars. We were more used to wearing it for winter jogging, in front of the fireplace or even at recess (in 1995). Designers enjoy reinventing it (see Kenzo below), and here it is, well and truly back in fashion. Except that today, we wear it with little skirts, heels… in short, all the most feminine looks! If you can't afford a designer coin, follow our guide.

1 – Homemade DIY session

You steal your boyfriend's oversized sweets (if you're single, head to the thrift store). Then, we stock up on stuff to sew or stick on:crests, iron-on patterns, scraps of old jeans that we've cut into the desired shape (a big heart?), chains, beads... It's like Christmas, except the sweet is your tree. We also bring felt pens for textiles and let the artist in us live. 100% unique creation.

2 – DIY session (2.0) at home

On the Spreadshirt site, you can choose hoodie models with kangaroo pocket, zip sweatshirts for men, women or children (gift idea godchildren). For the rest:we have carte blanche, it's up to us to customize it! Dozens of patterns are available, you can choose the size and location of the selected drawing, or the font of the text you want to print. Most ? Spreadshirt allows you to put your creations on sale in a personal online store that anyone can create for free. The beginning of a new career, who knows!
