Upcycled Sweater


Isn't December just flying by?! I can't believe that Christmas is almost here and not to mention 2012! I've been busy with Christmas decorating and prepping my laundry room for my wonderful hubby to paint. Yep, I'm spoiled he paints I tape off. Nice trade off don't you think?


I've been keeping busy with crafts too. I decided to try and make the famous no sew ruffled tree skirt and this!

 I found this old sweater in my closet. I seriously have an issue with hoarding my clothes. I just can't part with them.... I always think ONE day I'll wear this again.
I took a decorative pillow that I had stored away for future pillows.
Laid it out, measured and cut.


I used my sewing machine to sew it up and I can seriously tell you, this probably took 10 minutes to make. I saved the sleeves to make these...

Added a sweet ribbon by attaching a safety pin to the end and feeding it through the sweater.


And with the turtle neck I made my sweet baby girl a headband, perfect for our snow trip.

I think I got my moneys worth!

Thanks for stopping by! Please check back soon, I have an awesome give away that your going to love. Here's a hint, it rhymes with "Fencil"...
