DIY Skirt Sweater

Hi loves!

      So this sweater skirt was extremely easy to make! This is a fast and easy way to repurpose an old sweater and stay warm this winter.
      What you need for this project? A knit sweater,  sewing scissors, sewing machine with matching thread, and elastic for the waistband.
     First step.. cut the sweater right underneath the arms in a straight line.
      Next step.. sew the waistband, but leave about an inch open for slipping the elastic through. Then slip a safety pin onto the edge of the elastic and push it through the waistline hem. Pull the two ends of elastic through and sew them together, then finish of the waistline!
      You've got yourself a pretty cute knit skirt, created from an old sweater! Yaaay!!!
       Now cut off the sleeves, sew the edge and then you have some cozy leg warmers! Pretty simple right?!

      Hope you have fun with this! Keep warm, stay cute, & Happy Winter lovelies!
