I remodeled this sweatshirt by applying a zipper (see my instructions) and adding the beautiful Jacobean Jewels designs by Hatched in Africa.  The sweatshirt is pigment dyed and very soft.  It was purchased at Sam's.  The crystals used on the designs are from Creative Crystals and applied with their special heat wand.  These crystals are very pretty and I have never had one come off even through many washings.

This is another pigment dyed sweatshirt from Sam's.  On this one I cut out the ribbed neck and cuffs.  I turned the wrong side to the outside and whipped it down with varigated silk ribbon.  This was an idea I saw at the Houston Quilt Show, and that's where I purchased the ribbon.  Cutting the ribbing away from the neck then turning the raw edge left it rather large, so I wear it over a turtle neck t-shirt. 

Once again I used the SwarovskiŽ Iron-On Austrian Crystals from Creative Crystals on the 5x7 Jacobean Jewels design.  It is a good idea to try your shirt on and determine placement for the design.  I almost got this one too close to the sleeve.
