Repurposed

I was inspired by the idea of using old unwanted items and making them into something new, fun, and exciting.  My mother in law started her hunt and scored on hundreds of sweaters.  My plan is to turn these sweaters into something that will be cute and fun for all ages.

The first sweater I used I made a pillow, leg warmers, head band, and skirt.  This was a fun process and I am excited to create more like these.

This was the sweater before.

I took the front and back of the sweater and sewed some fabric and piping around the sides to make this cute little pillow.  Price $35

To make these leg warmers I took the sleeves of the sweater and added the ruffle and binding.  The ruffle can be warn on bottom or on top of the leg.  Ruffle shown on the bottom.
