She’s Crafty.

Wow, two threads referencing the Beastie Boys in one week!

Ever held the perfect hoodie design in your minds’ eye, spending weeks scoping out storefronts and hitting up Google, trying to find it but coming up empty-handed? Maybe it’s time to get stichin’!

Designing your own hoodie is probably easier than you think, courtesy of some great tutorials online.

Misfits custom hoodie - from Curbly

First up, ThreadBanger, the network for DIY fashion, has a video tutorial on how to turn an old band t-shirt into a custom vintage hoodie. Curbly as the text run-down, in case you’re having trouble watching the video or want to print out some instructions for post-viewing sewing.

Hooded Cardigan - from Knitty

If you prefer hook and yarn to thread and needle, Knitty has a hooded cardigan pattern that is perfect for the cooler weather. The design is by Jodi Green.

If you have any success with these patterns, or know of any more worth sharing, post them in the comments.
