Upcycled Sweater Pants

 

I busted out my inner crafting genius today.

{I knew she was in there somewhere.}

{Confession – these were actually ridiculously easy. But I felt super-crafty nonetheless.}

Step One: Buy an old wool sweater from the thrift store.

Step Two: Cut the sleeves off.

Step Three: Place them side by side. Cut halfway(ish) down the seam on the inside of each sleeve.

Step Four: Sew them together, pants-style.

Step Five: Sew a roomy section at the top and thread a piece of 3/4″ elastic through it. Sew shut.

Step Six: Find a ridiculously adorable baby to model. Take pictures. Feel uber-crafty.

 

A tutorial for these can be found HERE.

    Nice job! I have no doubt you’ll be able to reach your goal of handmade gifts for Christmas!
    Now if only I had the patience to make things (other than a mess).
