green upcycling

Marvelous! look at this! A successful upcycling project.

Take 1 wool sweater and put in washing machine on 60 degree wash.
Cut off neck line, sleeves and rib band.

How to make mitts:

Make a hem at the elbow end.
Cut a hole for the thumb and blanket stitch as before.
Yummy cosy mitts!









And the rest of the jumper?
Blanket stitch edges for non fray and decorative detail.

Finished item is a skimpy t-shirt!














Very satisfying. Have a go yourself!
