I was excited to find this warm sweater for my daughter back in the fall for 49-cents...

The problem was, she never wore it.
Rather than let a perfectly fine sweater go to waste, I decided to refashion it into something she would wear!
Here in Michigan, March came in like a lamb and is going out like a lion. We’ve had a lot of cold snowy days as of late. And all of the nice hats that I made my girl last year, (with her growing like a weed and all) are suddenly a bit snug. So I thought, “What better way to use the sweater in question than to make a warm headband and pair of fingerless gloves?”
She was much happier with the refashion than the original!
Happy Girl!
She kept posing for pictures in them…
Sassy pants!
Just doing a bit of reading…
So there you have it! for 49-cents, my kid will stay warm in her new cold-weather accessories!
As a bonus, I still have the majority of the sweater left for a future refashion I have in mind, so stay tuned for that!
You can see the step-by-step tutorial on the Diary of a MadMama blog.

That's cool - and she is so cute posing for the pictures :-)
Glad you found a better use of the sweater that she appreciated.

Thanks Eddie! :)
I just noticed the weird lines from my post. Not sure how that happened. Oops! ;)
