DIY Advent 6: An Old Sweater Becomes a Skirt
What can happen when washing clothes with his thoughts somewhere else, is to see in the small picture. How to make the most of it, shows the lower photo. So before you discard your old sweaters, first have a look at this DIY tutorial. Had I known that I get out such a nice skirt, I would have washed my sweater much earlier at 60 °. Well, now you know all how I wash my laundry 
!
Due to the great pattern, I did not have the heart to throw it away and came up with the idea with the skirt. As a little extra, I have tinkered two small woolen tassels, which are in my opinion, “the icing on the cake”.

LizMay want to put the fluffy balls in a different location. I love the idea but 2 fuzzy balls in the middle of your crotch is not a great idea. Perhaps putting them on one side would be better.
Otherwise- super cute! Going to make it.

NataliciousSo cute! Maybe instead of haveing the balls hang RIGHT THERE, you could tie them into a cute bow or something. =)

katieI think its just awesome I love the recycle of clothing because you can recycle paper plastic metals etc. but cloths get tossed out as soon as theve been ripped or been grown out of.
Great idea!
*if the fuzzy balls makes u think of what ur all thinking of you need to turn off the TV more.* >.<

AlizaThe skirt is cute. The fuzzy balls hanging in front of the crotch are questionable.

Eftychia www.dreamofcakes.netClever idea but unfortunately my bottom is a lot bigger than my waist!

DebWhen my daughter was a toddler I would make outfits out of sweatshirts ! Make a skirt out of one (similar to the one above ) and cut the second sweatshirt down the front to make a cardy/jacket ! Cheap & easy ! I also embellished with holiday decor !

JoLove this- it is super cute and now I am desperate to start hacking up sweaters! I did not think of anything but cuteness with the tassels! I would wear them proudly even so though!!
Fashion Blog Comment for DIY Advent 6: An Old Sweater Becomes a Skirt by Bronchial Tubes
Bronchial TubesMaybe it’s because I live in Wisconsin, but this totally inappropriate for winter. I’m usually freezing wearing long jeans, I think my legs would get frostbite if I wore this. Cute skirt, though. It would work well if you were able to make it with a more summery fabric.
Fashion Blog Comment for DIY Advent 6: An Old Sweater Becomes a Skirt by Jenny
Jenny babyfingers.blogspot.comI think it’s cute! I wonder if I have a sweater I could use for this. It’d have to be a little bigger and longer for me. Might have to splice two together.
Fashion Blog Comment for DIY Advent 6: An Old Sweater Becomes a Skirt by linda
lindaLove this idea. I bought a similar skirt for $30.00 and ended up returning it because I decided it was to expensive. Cant wait to make one, including the pompoms.they add so much to it.

DianeWondering where you found the skirt? What store? Love this idea but don’t have the time to make it…
Fashion Blog Comment for DIY Advent 6: An Old Sweater Becomes a Skirt by L Walker
L WalkerA bunch of us are making these for a Christmas party. And we aren’t teenagers, so they will go with tights and boots. I love the tassle look, but will probably make them different lengths. Very cute, thanks for sharing!!

kristincglue? seriously?
good luck with that.
Fashion Blog Comment for DIY Advent 6: An Old Sweater Becomes a Skirt by Dana
Dana fashion.onblog.atOf course, but it’s not a normal glue. You should us a “FABRIC GLUE”, which works perfectly. I washed this skirt many times and the glue is still holding.
Nice greetings from snowy Austria
