I had never cut off the hood of a sweatshirt to make a crew neck sweatshirt before. I have to give credit to this
Youtube that I watched, because I couldn't find any tutorials on Pinterest!
I assumed I would just cut an oval along the neck, but this gal suggested to cut just above the stitching. This is much easier because it is like a built-in guide. I used my sewing scissors, they give a much cleaner cut.

Here is the sweatshirt victim. It always fit me too stiffly around my neck, arms, and stomach. |
 |
Here's the stitching that you can easily follow. |

First I only did the neck, but wanted more change! |
 |
So I cut the sleeves and waist, too. |
 |
Next thing I knew, JP had made use of my scraps. Resourceful! |
I think I'll probably make a wider neck for more of an off-the-shoulder look. But for now, I have a great start on a more comfy sweatshirt!
