upcycled
Posted by Sherry on December 30, 2011
I think upcycled is what we’re calling it these days. Take something you no longer use and change it into something else. I thought I’d give it a whirl.
I’d already cut one sleeve off of my no-longer-worn sweater before I thought to take a picture.
Zip zap and I’d made my sweater into a pair of leg warmers (from the sleeves), a skirt (from the waist section), and a scarf (from the top sleeves, because that’s where the purple stripe was) for Sage. I sent her mama this picture and asked if Sage might pose in it for a picture.
I got more than I asked for. Sage wore her new outfit to our annual Christmas time breakfast (usually at the Benson in Portland, this year at the local Allison resort).
What a bunch!
I love this idea! This turned out adorable and I love the idea of reusing, I mean, upcycling, a sweater. Thanks for sharing. Cute model!
I’m so proud of you! This is so imaginative and chic! You go girl!
That is SO wonderful! Good job and thanks for sharing the inspiration!
I am so impressed!! I didn’t realize you were so crafty! Great job…lucky Sage!

I hardly ever buy anything new, used/recycle is GOOD!
But I must say, I don’t think I would have ever discovered such a clever outcome with a sweater. I’m not quite that motivated.
