Striped Sweatshirt Dress

Omg this dress is so warm...I wore this in 60 degree weather and I had to take off my jacket! I've been wanting to make a sweatshirt (fabric) dress for the longest time since it's always a little chilly in SF, but never found any sweatshirt fabric with a pattern that I really liked until now. This dress is so comfy and cozy, it would be perfect for ladies that live in cooler climates.

  5. How did you DIY the sleeves? What material is your sweatshirt dress made out of? I'm having problem sewing thinner material with my machine. Any advice?

    1. the fabric is called sweatshirt fleece fabric. if u google, lots of online retailers carry it. can u be more specific with the issues u r having. what kind of thin fabric r u using (woven or knit?) and what r the issues? In terms of sleeves, r u asking how i pattern it or how i sewed it?
