3 Ways to Cut a Hoodie
Whether you want to alter the style, fit, or simply add a personal touch to your favorite hoodie, there are several ways to achieve the desired look. In this article, we’ll discuss three ways to cut a hoodie:
1. Crop It
2. V-Neck Design
3. Adding Thumbholes
1. Crop It:
Cropping a hoodie is an excellent way to show off your waistline and give it a more feminine or modern look. Here’s how to do it:
a) Make sure your hoodie is clean and wrinkle-free.
b) Wear the hoodie and mark the length you want your cropped hoodie to be.
c) Lay the hoodie flat on a table or another flat surface, ensuring it’s straight and even.
d) Use tailors chalk or masking tape to draw a cutting line where you marked your desired length.
e) With sharp fabric scissors, carefully cut along the line while making sure not to cut too fast or unevenly.
2. V-Neck Design:
A V-neck design adds an edgy, casual look to your hoodie that’s perfect for everyday wear.
a) Lay your hoodie flat on a surface with the front side facing up.
b) Determine how deep you want your V-neck and mark that spot at the center with tailor’s chalk or masking tape.
c) Find the center of the hood’s neckline seam and draw two diagonal lines from there to the marked spot, creating an even V shape.
d) Cut along those lines with sharp fabric scissors, and make sure you don’t damage any stitches while cutting.
3. Adding Thumbholes:
Adding thumbholes can keep your hands warm during colder months and provide extra convenience when wearing layers.
a) Put on the hoodie and mark where you’d like your thumbholes – ideally around 1-2 inches from the edge of the cuffs.
b) Take off the hoodie and lay it flat, with the sleeves stretched out.
c) Cut a vertical slit (approximately 1 inch long) through both layers of fabric at your marked spot. Make sure you don’t cut through any seams.
d) Trim any frayed edges and carefully sew around the thumbhole using a sewing machine or a needle and thread.
In conclusion, cutting your hoodie can dramatically change its appearance and make it more suitable for your personal style. By following these simple methods, you can easily transform an ordinary hoodie into something unique and fashionable. Happy cutting!
