I love refashion. The idea of making something new out of something old. I’m kind of obsessed actually. The one refashion idea that I have done multiple times, is to take an old sweater/cardigan and turn it into something fun and artsy.
Here is my YouTube video about making my Fun Artsy Thrift Store Sweater Refashions. I hope you enjoyed it.
Here is the one I made in this video, followed by the other two I featured.
I have a post on how I made another sweater refashion on my old blog. Go take a look:

So, those are just a few. I love making something new, out of something old. And, I love fabric. I can never resist new fabric. Soft. The Softer the Better!!
I hope you enjoyed my tutorial. Do you want to see more like this? Leave me a comment and let me know.

I like your new sweater! You are absolutely right that refashioning/upcycling is not an exact science but a creative process. I will certainly use your idea to refashion some of my clothes.
Thank you Ologa! Hugs!
Just found/watched your video….loved it! Especially watching your process. My biggest stumbling block to upcycling my clothes is me. I hope this helps me get out of my own way and start experimenting more. I look forward to watching more of your videos…..
