Over the next few days I’m going to show you how to upcycle an old sweater into 3 new projects. The first DIY is turning the sleeves into mittens. This is so easy and it only takes 10 minutes!
Supplies:
Old sweater
Mittens to trace
Sewing machine
 |
| [Place your mitten at the cuff of the sleeve (I left a few inches at the bottom so my new mittens would be longer) and cut around it. You will be cutting through both sides of the sleeve] |
 |
| [Once the mitten is cut out, cut out another one on the other sleeve. You should have 4 pieces total] |
 |
| [Turn the mitten inside out and stitch around the sides and hand] |
!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js’; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += ‘?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);
