*Reduce *Reuse *Recycle = sweater mittens!

EARTH MONTH =  REPURPOSE AND REUSE:

I'm not sure how many of us have an old sweater that we just can't get rid of, so repurpose it, cut it up, and let it go...
My daughter had this sweater that her auntie gave to her and it was too small and had holes (it was way over due for the garbage), but she would not let go (she's a mini-me hoarder)...
So, we REPURPOSED her sweater into cute mittens

You don't even need a tutorial for this baby, super easy:


Turn inside out. Use the bottom of sleeves, neckline, or bottom of sweater for mittens.

Pin both layers of sweater together. Trace your hands with a permanent marker. Cut. Sew (zig zag).

Her favorite sweater mittens with her favorite PJ's... Happy Girl!
