I had this beautiful blue sweater that was given to me as a give away. I love blue and it is difficult to turn down a sweater as I am always cold and I enjoy a nice sweater in the summer as well as the winter. The problem with this sweater was the neck. It was so small if I managed to force it over my head it choked me.
So what was my solution going to be? Was I going to give it away? I was looking through Pinterest and inspiration struck me. I was going to make it into a skirt. I found a tutorial on Recycled Fashion which you can find Here.
1. I laid out my sweater on the floor.
2. I cut off the arms and the top of the sweater.
3. I turned the sweater inside out and sewed up the sides. Then I created a casing for my elastic and sewed the closure shut after adding the elastic. I flipped my work right side out and it was complete!
This skirt is super warm and hits a few inches above my knees. It was so simple to make and I kept the arms so I can make a matching pair of leg warmers to which I will probably add a couple crochet buttons to spice it up.
