Once upon a time there was a soft harmless jumper, waiting quietly in a thrift shop.
Swooped up and scooped up it flew all the way to my house!
It looks cute enough I guess, but I'm not a fan of bunchy waist rib bands. So....
I removed them...all of them, and chucked it in the wash.
Ah, much more me, I can breathe and move...and dance!
'Til next time, keep on creating!
Love,

...and what will those cuffs and ribs become now? I am sure something else fascinating is on its way!
ReplyDeleteMuch better!
ReplyDeleteI cut the sleeves off to make arm & leg warmers and have used felted-up charity shop jumpers to cut up and resew into hats and mittens. xxx
Such a bold idea, I love it. xx
ReplyDeleteOh yes!!! MUCH better!!!xxx
ReplyDeleteI also notice a rather nice array of hats in the background!
ReplyDeleteI've always though of doing this but I was afraid it would unravel. It didn't? How wonderful. You look tres chic.
ReplyDeleteThat is one of the best thing about thrifted items...you can alter them to your needs.
ReplyDeleteI am very envious of your bare legs.

Buy one item and get 4! What would you do without felting....hurray for good old wool and a creative mind to see possibilities.

I like it! I can't stand the binding on those things either. I just cut them all off of a sweatshirt recently, so much more comfy. You're much better and dancing it it though...
ReplyDeleteReally, really cute!
ReplyDeleteThat's perfect! Bunchy waist rib bands are rather awful though there are one or two I put up with by tucking them into my jeans. I like your solution! You look so cute in that picture. So free and ready to dance. xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteJazzy Jack,
ReplyDeleteI don't like ribbed waistbands either! Did the jumper shrink much in the wash?
