Scrapping Sweaters: 10 Things you Can Make Out of Old Sweaters

Shredded, frayed and destroyed clothing is in! Destroy that old sweater and get destructive with this DIY method!

What’s a gal with a shopping ban to do when she spies something she’d love to try and buy? Obviously, one thing would be to walk away and really think about whether she needs it or not, as of course she has a capsule wardrobe to consider. The other thing would be to DIY that shiz, which I decided to do.

Upcycle your sweaters into DIY mug cozies!

Hi everyone!  I’m glad to be back with another guest post, helping you to get the most out of your wardrobe.  This month’s post is a bit of a wardrobe hack to help transition you from summer into the fall weather.  Like it or not, summer is slowly making its exit and that leaves us with an awkward period between seasons to dress for. My number one go-to item to give that Autumn feeling to any outfit is a perfect, slouchy beanie.  I like to have a variety of different coloured beanies on-hand, but of course it comes with a price – that is, unless you can make them yourself.  I’m going to show you how to re-purpose an old sweater into the perfect, slouchy beanie that will take your summer wardrobe well into Fall. The best part is this DIY beanie required absolutely no sewing.  

Clever!And that sweater looks a lot like one that I converted into a tea cozy.http://safaffect.wordpress.com/2011/02/23/cozy-hot-tea/
