The Sweater Saga Part: 1

 Neighbor Sandy gifted me these 3 identical sweaters in 3 different colors!

I have always wanted to try and make a 2-tone sweater from 2 different sweaters and now here is my chance! I figured this would be a simple refashion since the black and red sweaters were identical.

I cut down the back of the red sweater.

Then I cut down the front of the sweater. Then repeated the same with the black sweater.

I flipped the pieces inside out and took 1 black and 1 red side. Then I pinned them together down the back and the front, with the help of my dress form.

I used a medium ball-point needle and streteched my stitch to 4.0mm- this was to help the sweater knit from becoming a ruffle!

Once both pieces were stitched together I took in the sides as well as the sleeves.

I am BEYOND happy with how this turned out!

Happy Refashioning, Crafting and Upscaling!!!

Black & Blue

 Hello Refashion Co-op. It is a bummer when a favorite piece of clothing gets a hole in it. This black t-shirt was/is a favorite of mine because it fit well and it went with everything. But it got a hole right in the front. 

 I cut the t-shirt off right at the hole. Now I had a shorter t-shirt with a raw cut, unfinished hemline. 

I had an idea to cover that hole and make this t-shirt more fun. I used the trim from this skirt that I refashioned a couple months ago. 

I removed the trim from the skirt. Snip, snip. 

I used a zigzag stitch to attach the trim to my shirt. 

The trim covered the cut I made in the shirt and gave it some fun flourish. 

Thanks for reading along, for more details and pictures check my blog.

Push Up Your Sleeves

 Hello Refashion Co-op. My daughter gave me this blazer jacket that she didn't want anymore. I liked the light blue color. It seemed perfect for spring. But the sleeves were SO long. That was not so perfect. 

I made a small opening in the inside of the wrist cuff and threaded elastic through the sleeve. 

I threaded elastic through and connected the ends to make a circle. 

The circle or "bracelet" of elastic is hidden inside the jacket sleeve and it is tight enough to keep the sleeve pushed up. 

This was such a quick fix but it made the jacket more fun to wear. And my hands are out in the open. For more pictures and details go to I Can Work With That.
