duh dun. duh dun. duh dun.
(Do sharks rawr??)
I finally found a grey hoodie to make this possible. A shark hoodie has been on my mind for months! (Boy version of this?)
You need:
a grey hoodie
sturdy white felt
This project is pretty simple. Start with a grey hoodie.
1. Cut out a bunch of triangles. The size you make them will probably depend on the size of your hoodie. Mine are about 1" on the long edge. Don't worry if they aren't all exactly the same size or perfect shape. Shark teeth are supposed to be jagged.
2. Pin them on. And sew them on. Or just forget pinning and feed them one by one onto your hoodie as you feed it through the machine.
This is the wrong way to pin, by the way. But it kept them in place until they went into the machine and I took the pin out.
3. duh DONE!
You could add eyes, but I didn't want it to look too gimicky. I liked the subtle shark look. Plus the hoodie naturally points at the top making a cute little "fin".
P.S. Celebrate the BOY starts today (at Made by Rae and MADE)! And I am participating tomorrow! Yay for boys!
Oh I love this! I just happen to have the perfect little boy for this! Thanks so much for such a great idea!
