The time has come to cull my wardrobe. In an effort to re-think and re-use, this sweater went from mousy on me to mod on Esther.

I cut off the sleeves and sewed up the sides of the sweater body so that it became narrow enough for Esther to wear it as a sweater dress. I made the discarded sleeves into leg warmers by sewing them into narrower tubes.

I think she liked it. I sure did.
This is "mad", "sick" and "off the chain"...and "it kills". That is young person speak for totally awesome!
