/ September 30, 2013That is so cute! My fear is that the markers would leave lines (like if you’ve ever tried to fill in something with Sharpie and you can see all of your strokes.) It doesn’t appear like it was, but was that ever a problem? I

/ September 30, 2013This, is awesome! I’m not entirely sure if I’d want to color in the whole thing, I might take the lazy person approach and use some fabric paint or something… 🙂 Pinned for later!
I would love it if you would link up at Martha Mondays, open now through Wednesday night!

/ September 30, 2013I think I know what you’re talking about! It does kinda streak if you run the marker along the grain of the fabric, but if you color it in at various angles, the pen lines blend in rather nicely. Hope that answers your question! ~M.

/ September 30, 2013I should have used fabric paint! Frankly, I have never used any kind of fabric medium before, so I wasn’t sure how well the markers would do vs paint. I got the markers initially for my craft library thinking they would give me better control. But with so much space to cover for this hoodie, paint would have been a better route. Live and learn! ~M.

/ September 30, 2013Thank you! I didn’t actually think up the design all on my own, so can’t take credit for that. Haha ~M.

/ September 30, 2013Thank you, m’dear! ~M.

/ September 30, 2013I agree! The markers gave this hoodie a vintage feel that I wasn’t expecting. Kinda cool! ~M.

/ September 30, 2013Haha! I actually thought of you while doing this. It seemed this would be just the kind of project that would appeal to you. Can’t wait to see your version! ~M.

/ October 8, 2013Holy Moly, you have incredible patience + tenacity!!! Totally paid off, what a great way to jazz up a blah hoodie!!!
Redesigned By M
/ October 8, 2013Thanks, Shelli! I just think that I probably would’ve spent that much time locating the original hoodie, purchasing it, and waiting for it to come in the mail or be forced to pick it up from the States. So, time-wise, it probably came to a wash. And what better way to multi-task while catching up on my DVR’d shows!
