Hello Refashion Co-op. Have you ever accidentally put a wool sweater in the washer and dryer when it needed to be dry cleaned? Ugh, me too.
Here is the sweater in question. It is a nice heavy wool/silk blend. I decided to make some mittens. The waist band made nice wristbands of the new mittens. I traced my hand and used my machine to stitch the two sides of the mittens together.
I was able to make two pairs of mittens and used the leftover material to make a headband/ear warmer.
For more details and pictures go to I Can Work With That.
This is right up my alley. .. I have done this many times. ..I also line them with fleece for extra warmth. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteyou can make nifty slippers from an old knit sweater too.
ReplyDelete@Susan Evans, Slippers sound really good right now, it is so cold.
