I love my girl Erica at Recycled-Fashion in Australia - even though she's enjoying summer right now, she sent over this fab remake using a striped sweater! It's a little 2-for-1 action going on! Check it out...
In an effort to keep warm, this is my second sweater skirt sewing refashion! I found the striped jumper in the sale at a local church affiliated Op Shop (Australian thrift store) for $2.50. It always makes me smile to find a sale at an Op Shop, considering the original prices are so low anyway.
I think you're going to love what Erica makes...
I've snipped off each arm and neckline...
...and crafted the body into a skirt...
...and the arms into leg warmers.
I serged all raw edges and added a casing band to include elastic to the top of both pieces.
Absolutely adorable and so practical for the cold temperatures. If you're not going to wear the piece as is, why not make it into two pieces that will be worn over and over again?? Rock it out, Erica!!
