I'm sure everyone has a sweatshirt that just doesn't fit right. Mine is in the form of a hoodie my parents got me from Hawaii. I love sweatshirts but this one fit weird. The sleeves are at least 1.5" short and the hoodie pretty much choked me out every time I'd try to wear it. So what did I do? Took scissors to it. I'm sure I could have been "fancier" or more creative but hey, I wanted to fix it.

| One of my final products |
What you'll need:
- Sweatshirt you don't mind cutting into
- Scissors
This is literally the easiest and fastest outfit fix I've done! First, I lined up the sweatshirt so I didn't cut it unevenly.

| Lining up the sweatshirt and just starting to cut away |
Next, the sleeves. The super short sleeves. I wasn't quite sure what to do with them. So I did what I'm good at... cutting with the scissors. Below shows how I did it. After they were cut, i just rolled them up a little. I was going to sew them, but I decided I like them rolled.

| I cut off a little bit of the sleeve and then just rolled it twice |
I thought about cutting it shorter too on the bottom. However, I thought about the pocket and I didn't want to mess that up! The final product is below! I'm proud of it, I'm actually going to wear this sweatshirt now! Yay!

| It's a lot cuter in person... I promise. lol Here it looks bulky, but that's just the sweatshirt itself |

| The neckline |
Pretty easy, huh? What do you think? I did another one as well, it's the pink one on top!
