Sweater Makeover!!!

Hello Readers!

I'm so excited, project number one is complete!  Due to the dropping in temperatures, I decided to give one my sweaters a makeover...which one shall I choose... I found this random sweater in the bottom of my winter clothes tub, and it was a 3X...don't know how or why its in there but it is perfect for my sweater makeover!!!  Below is the picture of how the sweater looks pre-makeover if you will...

With a seam ripper I, took off the bottom bungy fabric, as well as the ones attached at the ends of the sleeves.  I also took off the pockets using the seam ripper as well.  To save time I cut with scissors, the zipper.  I left the hood as is, but I took out the string, you can leave the string if you want, I personally feel I never use the string and only worry about it being uneven all the time.  Next I tried it on, to see how small I need to make it.  I cut the sleeves and sides accordingly.  After all the cuts I sewed everything together. 

Then I decided to add some buttons instead of putting another zipper on.  I measured where each button and where the slots would go as well.  I put 3 buttons but you are welcome to put more, or even add the zipper!

Yay!!! And now I have a new cute sweater!!!  Thanks for reading...tune in tomorrow for a new project!

Thanks, Jess out!
