DIY Cropped Hoodie with Drawstring Waist

"Learn how to upcycle an oversized hoodie or sweater into a cute cropped sweatshirt with a drawstring waist. A good comfortable hoodie is definitely a wardrobe essential, but sometimes you just want the coziness of a sweatshirt, but with a little more flair. This is an easy DIY that you can complete in an hour or less! It's a great sewing project for beginner sewists and upcyclists. If you're interested in learning how to upcycle your own hoodie, feel free to follow the link to my blog for a full tutorial."
