Christmas Refashions

Happy Holidays!
Jen here from the Diary of a MadMama blog.

I wanted to show you some of the gifts I've been refashioning lately.

I have a huge stash of wool sweaters that's taking up entirely too much space in my house, so what better way to declutter, than to transform the sweaters into Christmas gifts?

I used some cashmere and angora (rabbit hair) sweaters to make this super soft, winter infinity scarf...

This festive sweater worked perfectly as a new Christmas stocking...

My daughter grew out of her old hat that I made her, so I decided to make her a new one in her favorite color...

We donated the extra hats to a local women and children's homeless shelter.
My kids are really enjoying giving this year. It's really making the holidays more enjoyable to see them getting into the holiday spirit.

I hope you have a fantastic holiday season too!
