Remember my tale of two sweaters skirt? Are you dying to know what became of the leftover bits?
Well wonder no more!
This week I’ll show ya four groovtastic projects for using those chopped-up-sweater-scraps!
Let’s get to it!
Shrug or Bolero? I’m never quite sure what to call these adorable morsels of upper body warmth.
create your own in a jiffy with refashioned sweater simplicity: part one:
I snagged the leftover top of the green vest (the bottom half had been transformed into my tale of two sweaters skirt)
+ a long drape-y cardigan from my preggie days.
I sliced the sleeves off of the cardi & chopped open the front of the vest.
Popped the sleeves into the vest right-sides-facing-raw-edges-lined-up & stitched them together.
Then zigzagged over the outside seam for extra strength.
And double zigzagged around the raw edge to create a lurvly lettuce hem (& prevent fraying).
then added a simple tie-up closure & was done!
check out parts two, three & four and get your stitch on!
