1) Dig through husband’s unworn clothing stash and claim stake on a non-scratchy sweater.
2) Cut the arms off the sweater and cut down top of the inner seams about 8 inches.
3) Turn the sleeves inside out and sew together along the seams. Fold down and sew the waistband to form an elastic casing.
4) Watch husband weird it out in semi-sleeveless sweater.
5) Cut off the bottom half of the sweater to repurpose into a girl’s skirt. Create an elastic waist, as seen on the toddler pants.
6) Make a simple bow tie and head band. Voila, new clothes!
Viva la Violette
My favorite part is watching the husband weird it out ;). GREAT project. I wish I were half as crafty as you.
Husband weirding is awesome. There is A LOT of that going on around here! xx – M
Great way to recycle your stuff and I am sure they loved wearing something of their dads.
Cool idea.
