Up cycle for Christmas pt 1

Hello fellow crafters, lets get those sewing machines out today and do a little more up cycling.

Jumpers, jumpers and may be the odd cardigan are going to be so much more loved when you give them a new lease of life as the very special, but totally trendy, Christmas stocking!

Kelly has made this project so simple even I can do it! 
Knitting is thee trend but why go buy wool and spend hours knitting when half an hour can see this 
project done and dusted. 

Grab some old bobbly sweaters, wash and dry and sew. Magic!
Here is Kelly's super easy step by step

That's another fine project ready for the season.

P.S. if you have any adorable baby grows that your baby has out grown super quick, as they do, why not try it out on 
one of them, recycle reuse love all over again. X

and dont throw anything away, join me next week for part two!
