What to do with wooly sweaters that you have shrunk in the wash accidentally....MAKE A BAG OUT OF EM!I sewed up the bottom and cut the sleeves off to make the strap and sewed up the arm holes, but kind of left a bit of knitted look round the arm holes to show that it was once a sweater.. and I fringed the welt at the bottom of the sweater coz it just looked more funky than leaving it ribbed and knitted looking. The pom poms were already there. I used to love this sweater..and now I can wear it again, but in a whole new way! It dont half pick up cat hairs though. JEEZ!!!
Sista you are rockin'!
