One Sweater...Three Different Projects
{Part 3}
Sometimes a sweater is more than a sweater. It is warmth for your hands, a head rest after a long day, and something stylish for your boots. I knew this sweater had to go. It wasn't for me anymore. So I made a few Miner adjustments to it.
So after doing the first projects what is left of this sweater? Not much...just the arms and neck.
I looked at the neck and said "What the heck can I make out of this?"
A big fat nothin'. So I tossed it.
The arms are another story though. A love story, if you will.
At first, I put them on like leg warmers. Unfortunately, the wrist end of the arm was up by my knee and it was too tight. Ouch!
Picture this. I am walking down the hall at school with a group of students when all of a sudden the circulation in my leg cuts off and I go down like a sack of potatoes. Not pretty.
So I went in a different direction...literally.
I turned them around and made boot liners.
The stores sell them for high rubber boots and they range in price from about $9.99 - $24.99.
There is no foot in these though, so I will still have to wear socks.
But I my legs have been oh, so toasty this winter.{LOVE}
How did I do it? Here are 3 easy steps.
And there you have it...boot liners!
One sweater that I didn't like turned into three {useful} creations that I love...
Mittens for my hands.
A pillow for my head.
And boot liners for my legs.
What would you make from an old sweater?

Thanks! Those boots are my favorite...found them at TJ Maxx.
DeleteSweater projects are all the rage this year! I like what you ended up doing with these sleeves. I was picturing you passing out in the hallways and it wasn't a pretty picture! These boot liners are!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sherry! They are super warm. My school (where I teach) is freezing on many days, so they have been a great addition to my wardrobe.
