How to Crop a Sweatshirt

"Learn how to crop a sweatshirt that is too long. Shorten a sweater three different ways by cropping, hemming, and resewing the waistband. I ordered a sweatshirt to make a Christmas inspired top, but the sweatshirt came too long. It’s always frustrating when you buy something, and it doesn’t fit the way you want it too. Luckily, it’s so easy to crop a sweatshirt to make it the right length. There are different three ways to crop a sweatshirt. You can chop it off and leave it raw, you can cut off the waistband and hem it, or you can cut and resew the waistband higher up on the sweatshirt."
