sweater all better


this brand new j.crew sweater lost an arm in a tragic accident.
but i liked the sweater too much, so i turned it into a project...

with yarn, i stitched up the sides,


stuffed a pillowform in there,
used the sweater's buttons to make the closure,


buttoned the buttons,


et voila --
a new pillow.

  2. Kind of curious myself...

    But talk about lemons to lemonade! Brilliantly cute and stylish. Such a cozy cuddle at this time of year.

    Great job!
