14   TYPE OF REPORTING PERSON
                     IN



- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Mr. Sweedler beneficially owns 58,600 shares directly and 5,242,325 shares
indirectly through Windsong DB, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
("Windsong"). Beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock indirectly
owned through Windsong (the "Subject Shares") referred to herein is being
reported solely because Mr. Sweedler may be deemed to have beneficial ownership
of such shares as a result of Mr. Sweedler holding a majority of the membership
interests of Windsong. Neither the filing of this Statement on Schedule 13D nor
any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by Mr. Sweedler
that he is the beneficial owner of any of the Subject Shares for purposes of
Section 13(d) of the Act, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial
ownership is expressly disclaimed. In addition, Mr. Sweedler expressly disclaims
membership in a "group," as defined in Section 13(d) of the Act.

(2) Windsong also owns a warrant to purchase up to 240,000 shares of Common
Stock, as adjusted, at an exercise price per share of $1.36, as adjusted (the
"Warrant Shares"). Such Warrant Shares are exercisable at any time beginning on
the 181st day of following the initial issuance date of June 27, 2007 and thus
are not beneficially owned, as defined in Rule 13d-3(a), directly by Windsong or
indirectly by Mr. Sweedler.

     (3) Based upon 44,928,105 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of June 27,
2007, as represented to the Reporting Person by the Issuer.

This Amendment No.1 to Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.10
per share (the "Common Stock") of Innovo Group Inc. (the "Issuer"). Except as
set forth herein, all previous items are unchanged.

ITEM 3. SOURCE  AND  AMOUNT  OF FUNDS OR OTHER  CONSIDERATION
Item 3 is hereby amended as follows:

     The securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Reporting Person are
Common Stock. The source of funds for the acquisition of the Subject Shares were
funds of Windsong. On June 27, 2007, Windsong and the Issuer entered into a
definitive Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 27, 2007 (the
"Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which Windsong acquired (i) 800,000 shares of
Common Stock in an all-cash transaction for a purchase price of $1.25 per share,
or an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000 and (ii) a warrant to purchase
240,000 shares of Common Stock, in whole or in part, at an exercise price of
$1.36 per share (the "Warrant Shares"). The Warrant Shares are exercisable at
any time beginning on the 181st day following the initial issuance date of June
27, 2007. The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties,
covenants and indemnification provisions.

Schedule 13d                                                         Page 4 of 5

     A copy of the Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1 and is incorporated
herein by reference.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
Item 4 is hereby amended as follows:

     Mr. Sweedler considers the shares of Common Stock that he beneficially
owns, directly and indirectly, an investment made in the ordinary course of
business and may, from time to time, depending on his evaluation of the market
for the Common Stock, the Issuer's business and financial condition and
operating results and general market and industry conditions, decide to increase
or decrease his holdings of the Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer,
in each case, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or in any
other lawful manner.

     Mr. Sweedler does not have any plans or proposals of the type set forth in
clauses (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule
13D.

ITEM 5. INTEREST  IN  SECURITIES  OF THE  ISSUER
Item 5 is hereby amended as follows:

     (a) and (b) The information contained on the cover pages of this statement
is incorporated herein by reference. Mr. Sweedler has the sole power to vote or
direct the vote and sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of 58,600
shares of Common Stock. As a result of holding the majority of the membership
interests of Windsong, Mr. Sweedler may be deemed to also have beneficial
ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) and shared
power to vote or direct the vote and shared power to dispose or to direct the
disposition of 5,242,325 shares of Common Stock, which together with the 58,600
shares totals 5,300,925 shares of Common Stock and represents approximately
11.80% of the shares of Common Stock deemed issued and outstanding as of June
27, 2007.

     The Warrant Shares have not yet been purchased and can be purchased at any
time beginning on the 181st day following the initial issuance date of June 27,
2007.

     (c) Except as set forth or incorporated herein the Reporting Person has not
effected any transaction in Common Stock during the past 60 days.

     (d) Not applicable.

     (e) Not applicable.

ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

     Items 7 is hereby amended as follows:

1.   Securities Purchase Agreement, dated June 27, 2007, by and between Innovo
     Group Inc. and Windsong DB, LLC (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 4.1
     to the Issuer's Form 8-K, dated June 27, 2007 (filed July 3, 2007)).
