- In this video I show you how to make a DIY blanket hoodie, also known as an Oodie.
An Oodie is an over-sized hoodie made out of a blanket
Please note: Your Oodie will be different depending on the size of the blanket you use.
Special thanks:
My daughter Elaine - Camera girl and model
My son James - Editor. - Jak na to + styl
we are in new zealand, it is our very very cold winter, i was going to buy oodies for the family but oh boy the cost was a bit much, saw this and went yessssss not only can i get a sherpa backed blanket for under $30 i can sew - so now i can afford to have oodies to spare, your explanations were so clear, love it, ty
Thank you for this! I'm 13 and my grandma taught me how to sew with a sewing machine so this is good practice and I really want a hoodie like this. Thank you ❤️
Give it a go, I am pretty sure you can make one.
I have been looking for these instructions for eons. Thank you for this video. The instructions are clear and easy to follow.
Perfect hoodie design and sewing job. Love it!
I'm making one of these for my wife. They look so cuddly.
Everything that is handmade with love is always a great gift. She will love it!
You'll be husband of the year❤
Made this today!!! Thank you SO much for the great tutorial! Showed mine to my best friend... she is dropping me off a blanket on Saturday to make her one !!!
And made another one for my best friend today ! She saw mine and loved it ! She’s so excited !!
@@punkcrock7597 You're such a good friend! I am sure she will love it!
Thank you for clarifying this process by giving simple instructions
You're welcome. I will try to make more tutorials in the future.
One handmade birthday present coming right up 🎂😁
Great idea! Would love to see some pictures :)
I will make this. Everyone has an oodie and I feel left out but they are like over $100 hahahah so I wanted to make my own! Might make it a bit bigger though if I can find a bigger but still cheap and fluffy blanket
Just a tip: maybe use landscape mode next time. Thanks for the cool tutorial. 😎🤍
thank you for this! i tried it out and it was simple and well explained!
That's great to hear!
Thank you. Great directions.
Thank you Jane! I'm glad you liked it :)
OMG nearly at 8k views!!! keep up the AMAZING work! :)
So cool!!!!
Going to give this a go tomorrow ! I have the perfect blanket for it too ! Thanks for the video !! ❤️
That's great! Glad you like my video :)
Das ist sehr einfach erklärt, das bekomme ich sogar hin! 😉☺️🤩
Dankeschön! Das bekommst du mit Sicherheit hin. Probiere es einfach aus.
Adorei vou fazer, para as minhas netas. Obrigada Br
wow you are a genius!!
Thank you for this comment!
Thank you so much! I got the free pattern from DIBY and was so overwhelmed because it’s too much and I don’t understand it. I’m more of a visual learner than trying to figure out a pattern. I’m probably gonna take the fleece fabric I bought back and just buy a big blanket, or use the fleece for something else.
Hi Shanticlaire, I totally understand. Working with pattern can be confusing. I hope my video was clear enough for you to follow. You can use any fabric you feel comfortable in and that keeps you warm :)
Super gut !
Thank you!
👍👍👍
This is great, may be it could be made a lil longer to go till the ankles. That way you won't have cold feet🤣
I made this tutorial so you can make yours as long as you want them or any way you like them. I just used what I already had at home as my motto is reuse what you already have.
@@dhydesign244 of course. What I meant was for myself. Anyways, I'm trying to convince my mom to make one for me 😄
@@cairasharma79 I'm pretty sure she will make one for you when you help her. Great way to spend time together :)
This would be a wonderful project to make. Just wonder if anyone made any adjustments in measurements for adult sizes? Thanks in advance.
Would it work if i had an inside and outside piece of polar fleece and would i follow the instructions the same
Can you tell me what size needle and thread count you used please
Hi Michelle, I used a 80/12 universal needle and polyester thread
What size blanket would i use for an adult??
Hi thank you for the tutorial it's extremely easy to follow, how much fabric would I need or how big a blanket for an adult size and to add a kangaroo pocket? thanks again
Hi Ana, sorry for my late response. I made one for myself and I used a blanket that was 180cm wide and 220cm long. It was big and long enough for me. From the 2 cut outs I made the hoody and the kangaroo pocket. I hope that helps and you give it a try.
Thats cool!! Which stitch did you use? I think this could be quite thick.
Hi! I used a normal straight stitch.
if i was to hand sew it, would i have it folded so the inside of the blanket is on the outside? and then when its finished, flip it to the right side? plz respond!🥺
Hi there, you have to fold it so the right side ( that is the side that is visible when you wear it) is facing each other when you stitch it. When you're done with stitching turn it around. Stitching by hand is a lot of work. Have you tried to use a sewing machine? It's really not that hard. If you have any more questions let me know. X
How much was it?
How tall is your daughter? I want to make one of these but I don’t know if it’ll be the right size for me.
Hi Lizzy, fold the blanket you want to use lenght wise in half and hold it in in the middle of your chest. That way you can see if the blanket is long enough and check if it covers your arms as well. I'm 1,60m tall and I made mine out of a blanket that was 180cm wide and 220cm long. I hope that helps?
@@dhydesign244 Yes, thank you!
I just want to ask what size is your daughter just for a rough example eg: extra small, small, ect
Hi ilsa, I would say it is a size small. I hope that helps and you give it a try :)
@@dhydesign244 Thank you! yes i will.
@@ilsaiqbal6079 Hi Lisa did you try this project? I want to make a few of these for Christmas for adults and wonder if the measurements would be much different?
Camera view is too narrow to follow where and how to fold andcut
It isn’t an oodie if you make it yourself
It not as good as the real oodie is better
well if you want the real oodie then go buy it and leave with your negativity, she worked hard for this video, and who are you to criticize her.
Pls don’t say things like that it’s spreading negativity and nobody needs bad vibes ):
How do you know you didn’t even make it
Oh my god, there is always one freaking A-Hole, take your sour self somewhere else! She did a brilliant job of showing us how to make our own blanket sweatshirt. I will definitely be making some of these, they'll make brilliant Christmas presents.
@ Michele Havas That’s pretty rude but anyway thanks for commenting it helps the youtube algorithm so more people can see this awesome hoodie. I know I will definitely be making one of these
