Embellished Hoodie on the cheap




Sew I found hoodies at Wally world for toddlers that where in great colors and lined with super soft fur on the inside. To embellish it a bit I used the fake zebra stripe fur and cut out crosses and hand stitched them on. I actually got the idea from a Christmas gift I had given my niece Morgan it was a brown hoodie with the cheetah fake fur. I questioned the lady I bought it from thoroughly because I was concerned about it holding up through the wash. The lady was wearing one and said she hadn't had any problems so I went for it on this project and cutie patootie it is, we will have to wait and hear from Indyanna's momma on how it holds up. In addition now I wished I had added some bling to it, but I know Indyanna's momma is big on the bling and can add it if needed. I sent this in the mail to Indyanna and her momma took pics for me :-) she is so stinking cute!!
P.S. Cousin Holly told me they have these hoodies on sale at Wally World for $3 right now. You need less than 1/2 yard of fake fur and I used DMC floss to attach it, cute hoodie for little bucks.
