As I said then, I had two sweaters of the same style. This one became this skirt:
And the other was a plain black sweater that was SUPER easy to turn into an adorable skirt for my daughter. I made cuts in the same way as the argyle sweater above but I had to take hers in a bit on one of the side seams. I kept the general cut in place but created a new side seam. Then, I made a casing (as I did above) for the elastic, threaded it through, added a couple appliques as embellishments and voila!
My daughter is super excited and looks just darling in this A-line skirt. She picked the appliques so that helps but with a pair of leggings and a cute tee she is ready to roll for school tomorrow!
Best part? There are still sleeves and the very top left for me to work with!!
Nice job! It is very satisfying to see old clothes have a new life.
