Shrunken Sweater Leg Warmers

October 6, 2011 |

I heart upcycling, especially with old clothing.

I also heart quick, no-sew projects, this one took me all of, oh I don’t know…
30 seconds!

Take a sweater that no longer fits, use your fabric scissors to cut the arms off, and slip them on your legs. Bam. Done. No sewing required. 😉

Although I probably will need to sew these before or after washing them… and possibly add elastic?

 

I can’t wait to make a few more pairs out of other sweaters and sweatshirts. 🙂

 

Have you upcycled anything awesome using clothing?

    Great idea! Hopped over from Sew Dang Cute. I always throw those sweaters away, not anymore!
