Redesign: Jumper to dress!

I've got several old wolly jumpers I've saved - hoping one day I will be able to use them for something.. Yesterday I suddenly had some free time so turned two jumpers into a dress! The black jumper is from Marks & Spencer, the grey one is my husbands old jumper from Next. Both 100% wool.

I cut off the arms from the grey jumper, turned it upside down and sewed it onto the end of the black jumper which I had cut shorter. I also had a thin wool cardigan (not on the before photo) which I trimmed off about 10 cm and sewed this onto the bottom of the grey jumper. I sewed on a nice flower ribbon from Norway on the front. A really warm dress for the winter!

Dragonfly dress

Been quite a while since I've had time to do anything crafty. But we are finally settled in the new house! After the move I've now got a big bag of clothes which don't fit anymore, or I just do not use. My plan is to try to turn these clothes into something usable, bit different and fun.

This top from H&M and skirt from Monsoon are a few years old now and not really used, so I cut off the end of the top, narrowed the skirt and sewed them together to make a dress. I made a dragonfly out of the remaining top-material which I sewed onto the skirt.
