    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!
