Sticking a T-shirt on a Hoody

ANarcho-Munk

Ok, here's the deal. I have a t-shirt with a really cool design on it. What I'm wondering is if I'd be able to just cut out the design (with a scissors) and stick it on the back of a hoody?

I know it sounds fairly simple but I was thinking after I cut the design out all the thread would be loose and would eventually unravel so does anyone know a way to prevent that?

Would be deadly if anyone would be able to give me a bit of advice.

Malteaser!

how are you planning on sticking it on the back of the hoody??

if you don't do it right its just gonna look like you just stuck a t-shirt to a hoody and not like a design on it (maybe thats the look you're going for!)

and why don't you just leave it as a t-shirt if it looks cool??

Could somewhere that does t-shirt printing do a replica of the design onto a hoody or do you need an original picture to do that ?

^^^ thats agood idea actually if you're ale to get it done...

it would be easier to stitch sleeves and a hood to the tshirt really bout if your heel bent on doing it cut out the design and if its made with that print that melts when you iron it do that around the edges and it will stick. otherwise cut out a template of the design if that is poss and bring it to a printing store or get clothes paint and paint the hoody.but think that last idea could be a disaster if you dont have an artistic bone in your body like myself

Some good idea's and advice so far - thanks.

The reason I don't want to wear it as a tee-shirt is cos I feel like a walking billboard sign wearing it.

I was planning on learning to sow and stitching it on or else being lazy and just stick it on with safetey pins (would probably be disastrous though)

The Tee-shirt printing idea sounds very good..

Thats a good idea, scan the t-shirt in sections, join them up in photoshop
and bring the jpg or whatever into the Guys, they'll print it on to a hoody for you no problem.

They do a lot of this stuff as well as standard stuff and will do a good job..

I did this a few years back with a much loved tshirt that I grew out of it. Brought it into a tshirt printing shop and got them to scan it in and print it onto a new tshirt. The result was almost as good as the original. I'm guessing that technology has moved on since then (that was maybe 10 years ago)

Would 'Wundaweb' work? I know its for fixing hems but its the same concept... simply to adhere the long bit so it doesnt sweep the floor.
