So i have these old sweaters that don't fit. Even pre-pregnancy.
I blame miss k. lol.
SO i cut them off right under the sleeves....straight across, with a rotary cutter.
then I serged the edges to prevent even more fraying. it's a sweater...i couldn't think of anything else to do with it. lol. then sewed/hemmed that under.
So now....I have new scarves. they are quite cowl-like. i might take them in a bit on the side, we will see.
they are warm and cozy and I like them!
ps i cut these in....NOVEMBER of LAST YEAR!!
ugh....since last month was national sewing month....it was one of my many must-finish projects.
fun!

wow, I would have never thought to do that with old sweaters. They are so cool.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME idea! I'm gonna go check my closet right now for some old sweaters. Seriously, I'm really excited. When I'm done making it/them, can I post them on my blog with a link to you as the creator?
