Description

By Beth Huntington

Upcycling is one of today’s hottest trends in crafting. Join the fun by learning how to upcycle and refashion sweaters from thrift store sweaters or even sweaters you crocheted or knit that no longer fit or are outdated!

Imagine turning that sweater you lovingly crocheted for your then 6-year-old daughter into a tablet tote for your now 9-year-old daughter! She’ll be thrilled to see that beloved outgrown sweater turned into a tote she can use every day! And you’ll be delighted that your handmade item will be used for years to come. Or take that favorite Christmas sweater you can’t bear to part with and transform it into a tree skirt and ornaments you’ll use again and again! That’s the joy of upcycling — you get years of use out of an otherwise unused item!
