before :: this sad little blue sweater was destined to be donated. the sleeves were too long, the belt is lost, and one of the belt loops was torn.
after :: i added fabric covered buttons, fixed the belt loop and added a new belt, chopped the sleeves and added a cute little trim. so here it is, my new sweater, re-fashioned and ready for cool spring evenings... we might still get a couple of those, right?
i also made esme' a new little skirt with an olivia the pig fat quarter that we have been saving for something special. now we need to find a coordinating shirt, perhaps red, or black since white is out of the question for my kids.
these fabric covered headbands are so comfy - there are skinny plastic headbands inside each one! now i have the cuteness of a wide headband without the headache!
and they are harper approved!
while you are here be sure to check out the celebrate summer swap!
Cute! I love the shorter sleeves on that sweater. :) My dh has a special place in his heart for blue and yellow.

This is such a good idea for the headband! I love wide ones but they hurt in all the unfortunate places. I'm trying this.
ReplyDeleteStylin mama! You are so creative....love it!
ReplyDeleteOooh I love all of it! Especially the sweater and the headbands. Perfect use for smaller pieces of fabric scraps.
