I was looking for a new hoodie when I went shopping the other week, and well to be honest all the ones I saw were boring lol. So I've decided maybe I could try buying a plain hoodie and customizing it.

I'm thinking of making an animal type hoodie (with ears and stuff), but I don't want to do a boring animal, so I was wondering if you guys could come up with any ideas for an animal I could base the hoodie on. Or, if you have any other ideas of how I could customize it, I'm open to other ideas too.

I once met someone who cut the ears off of a teddy bear and sewed them onto his hoodie. it looked pretty neat and it'd save you the trouble of having to make your own ears.
I once found a T-shirt that had a cool graphic on the back but a really dumb one on the front so I made it into a back patch. I dunno if you'd want to do that but it's and idea.

Well I've come up with a design now
It's sort of a mix of ERasER's wolf idea and PIT_FACE's zebra striped idea. I might post a picture of the design at some point, but for now I'll just tell you what it's (hopefully) going to look like. It's going to have wolf-type ears, but a bit taller than they should be, and it's going to be a bright colour (I want it to be blue) with some stripes on the back and sleeves in a contrasting colour (if I use a blue hoodie I want yellow stripes). The ears will also be blue, with yellow inside. How does that sound?

How do you plan on doing the stripes? Just out of curiosity.

I'll probably sew stripes onto it, or possibly use fabric paint

Ooh-paste some kind of catchy phrase on it like..."HACK-hairball" or...I can't think of anything...

"According to society I'm an Anarchist" "If I came in peace, why would I have a ray gun?" "Apology, worthless. Grudge, not."

Easiest way I know of to do stripes and the like is to put a piece of shirt board inside the hoody so nothing seeps through and take a can of decent spray paint and a stencil to it and just do light layers until you get the desired opacity. It gives much flatter lines without brush marks and it's pretty wash-proof so far as I know.

I'd cut the hood off.

But that's just me. Post pics when you're done ok? ^_^

Sure I'll put pics here when I'm done, but right now I don't know when I'll be starting it. I haven't found a hoodie that is a nice enough colour yet lol
