Stripes and Dots: Fun and Easy Sweater Upcycling!

It’s not hard to turn a thrifted sweater into something unique that you LOVE to wear! Let me inspire you and show you how I used the scraps from one sweater alteration to add joy to another sweater. On the striped sweater, I’ll show you how I mark up the sweater to create a good fit, how to lift the sleeves, shorten the body, and replace the ribbing. On the second one, I’ll not only reshape it, but breathe life and happiness into it with some needle-felted dots. Very fun and pretty easy!
