Description:
Take a basic sweatshirt and turn it into a fashionable, one of a kind garment. Sweatshirts are a staple in most wardrobes, and Nancy and guest Mary Mulari present a collection of Mary’s latest ideas for giving a sweatshirt a fresh new look. They start with a basic sweatshirt, and turn it into everything from cardigans to pullovers to vests. Along the way, they offer unique neckline, sleeve, and trim variations.

Part 1: Convert ordinary pullover sweatshirts into fashionable cardigans. After demonstrating how to turn a pullover sweatshirt into a classic cardigan, Nancy Zieman and guest Mary Mulari construct three variations. They add twisted button loops to a front closure. They include center front prairie points using a technique adapted from quilting. Finally, they use hemline ribbing to convert a sweatshirt into a vest.

Part 2: Add style, comfort, and fashion to a sweatshirt by modifying the neckline and hemline. Host Nancy Zieman and guest Mary Mulari begin by adapting a sweatshirt neckline to include a classic placket opening. Next, they enhance the neckline with a zippered collar, and they include a handy zippered sleeve pocket using a simplified technique. They also add a buttoned-up side accent and neckline crossover ribbing to another sweatshirt.

Part 3: Change the style of a sweatshirt with facings and appliqués. Nancy Zieman and guest Mary Mulari show how to remove neckline ribbing and make facing patterns. Then they add pleated inserts, vented or notched facings, and appliqués to sweatshirts. They conclude by converting a sweatshirt into a vest, using a zippered placket at the neckline and double facings to finish and trim the armholes.
