A few weeks ago, I received this lovely-colored sweater from a friend:
Now, I realize that there are a variety of arm sizes in the world, but the size of the cuff made it nigh-impossible for any of the girls in our family to fit the sleeve onto the upper arm. A true dilemma, since the sleeves were a bit shorter that 3/4 length!
So I cut off the binding, re-hemmed the sleeves...

Ta-dah! (Unfortunately, this is the only pic I have for you, as my camera battery just died. :)
That, my friends, is what I worked on this week. Thus ends my first experimentation with cutting up + sewing store-bought clothes! :D
Happy Monday!

Voondabas! (somehow that doesn't spell as great as it sounds)
Now you have to wear it for me sometime so I can admire it in all its glory. ;-)
Looks beautiful, Sarah! Good job!
Oh that turned out adorably! So creative! I'm gearing up do do some of this...except not on clothing, but on a purse and curtains.
That is such a beautiful sweater! WOW! I love that color. You did a great job remaking it.
I love the colour too, and the lace goes so well with it.
Thanks for joining in!
