New Purpose For An Old Sweater

Okay guys... were I live it gets COLD in the winter, and when I say cold, I mean frozen eyelashes cold.  I decided to start preparing my little ones wardrobe for the occasion of winter and noticed that there was a serious sweater drought going on.  So I rummaged through my overwhelming sweater collection and found a green stretch piece that I had originally thrifted for $4 bucks.  I couldn't remember the last time I wore it, so I knew I wouldn't miss it. I wanted to make something that could function as a dress with tights or a tunic with leggings. This little number took, seriously only about 20 minutes to cut up and put together.  It's a little wrinkly at the waist line, but her round little tummy will stretch it out nicely.
 Oh... and with some of the left over scraps I made a little rosette:)
Hope you enjoyed this little winter piece. Do you have any old sweaters you won't be wearing this winter? If so what can you do with them?

So cute. I love the green color too. I would love to repurpose some sweaters (and a bunch of other things), but I'm hoping I can at least fit into my sweaters. :)

Hey... I know the feeling. Being such a shorty there was really no place for the baby to go but out. I seriously felt like a beached whale towards the end;)
