DIY Sweater Skirt

                            

                                       

Another sweater weather DIY. This one was inspired by a pin I saw on Pinterest that I thought was super cute and super easy. First you're going to need another thrift shop sweater. The one I found had small ribbing and I got a neutral color so I could match it with more things.

Supplies:

Sweater (make sure the sweater will fit around your hips and butt and will be long enough once you cut the sleeves off)

Scissors

Sewing machine

Sewing pins

Elastic (enough to go around your waist)

1. Find a sweater. You're going to want to make sure the sweater is big enough and is made of a stretchy material so it will fit you more closely.

     

  

2. Measure on yourself how long you want the sweater to be then measure that far up on the sweater and cut.

                            

 

                          

 

3. Next pin down a slit that you will fit your elastic in and sew. Make sure to leave an opening to slide the elastic through. 

     

 

4. Cut a piece of elastic that will snugly fit around your waist. Slide it through the slit. Using safety pin can hot help get the elastic through usually works for me. Sew the elastic together and the slit shut and you're done!
