# DIY Feline Fashion The IDIY Cat Sweater Tutorial Works with Pet Styles By Jordy E | Published 2013-02-27 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/idiy-cat-sweater References: [refinery29](http://www.refinery29.com/cat-sweatshirt) & [refinery29](http://www.refinery29.com) The IDIY Cat Sweater Tutorial video has been orchestrated on behalf of Refinery29's fashion expert Chloe Daley. Daley demonstrated just how simple it is to do an at-home apparel update as she pulled off this pet-inspired style in just over three minutes. To get this look, Daley began with a basic grey cloth sweater. She continued to embellish the classic piece by way of a tape measure, scissors and glue. Once the preliminary groundwork was laid, seen in the drawings of eyes and ears, she stitched the designs with black thread. Fabric glue was then used to apply pink and black gems. The final product, complete with whiskers, is a simple essential for cat lovers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Viral](https://www.trendhunter.com/viral) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **DIY Pet Fashion:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating DIY fashion tutorials for pets. - **Creative Apparel Embellishments:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing unique and customizable clothing embellishments. - **Personalized Pet Accessories:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in offering personalized accessories for pet lovers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion and Apparel:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion and apparel industry by catering to DIY pet fashion trends. - **Craft and DIY:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the craft and DIY industry by providing innovative materials and tools for apparel embellishments. - **Pet Supplies:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the pet supplies industry by offering personalized and customized pet accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Printed Pet Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smiley-sweater.md) - [Cat-Themed Vday Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuddle-collection.md) - [Cozy Heart Pocket Onesies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yitty-3.md) - [Holiday-Centric Pet Outfits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petsmart-2.md) - [Limited-Edition Cat Dad Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-dad-hoodies.md) - [Stylish Sherpa Dog Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sherpa-dog-jacket.md) - [Sustainable Cable Knitwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eloise-wool-sweater.md) - [DTC Cat Lifestyle Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-person.md) - [Modern Pet Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-pet-collection.md)
