No-Sew Sweater Refashion
Hello Refashion Co-op. I know spring is coming eventually but it is still cold enough to need a sweater. At least where I live. But what if you shrunk a sweater? Don't throw it away, you can have a lot of fun refashioning wool sweaters that shrunk.
My sister-in-law shrank this navy blue sweater and gave it to me to use for a refashion. It was very tight in the sleeves but the body fit well.
I started cutting the sleeves off and then just kept cutting. The wool is woven so tight (After shrinking.) that the material won't fray and doesn't need any hemming.
I cut a scalloped edge along the hem for fun.
I cut the collar as well.

Shawl to Sweater
Hello Refashion Co-op. I found this pretty blue shawl at a swap. I love this color so much but a shawl doesn't stay on very well if you are doing anything around the house. (Like chasing a 5 year old boy!)
I decided to draw a cardigan shape and make sleeves and side seams.
I really liked how it became a loose open cardigan. It is just as cozy as a shawl, but stays on easier.
Thanks for reading along. for more pictures and details go to my blog, I Can Work With That.

Tie Front Top
Hooded Poncho Refash
I have been seeing ladies around town with these hooded ponchos made of sweatshirt material. I haven’t been able to find these in the stores but that won’t stop me!

I was gifted this beautiful purple sweatshirt from my boyfriend’s mom’s neighbor, she’s such a gem!

Among the mountain of clothes, my boyfriend’s mom’s neighbor gifted me was this hooded scarf, a pretty genius winter must have!

I separated the hood from the scarf. Then I pinned and sewed the hood onto the collar of the sweatshirt.

I cut a square from the leftover scarf and stitched each edge, which left a fun ruffles look!

I sewed the square onto the front of the sweatshirt to make a pouch pocket!

Then it was time to cut off the sleeves.

I turned the sweatshirt inside out and rolled the armholes back and pinned a new sleeve hem.

The finished product! Paired with a long sleeve shirt underneath!

With the hood up!

Happy Refashioning, Crafting and Upscaling!
