I keep coming across the neatest blog posts about upcyling or reinventing things from other items. I've done a few things in the past, but wanted to do something a bit more dramatic! So, into my closet I went. I found the softest sweater that just never fit right. I thought this could be turned into a cute sweater for Coraline.
(Super soft adult sweater)
I cut the sleeves and the sweater part below the bodice off. I used the wrist part of the long sleeve and made it a short sleeve. I put a box pleat in the back to make it fit a 5 month old. I also finished the sweater with a ribbon on the hem and a button to close the sweater. It turned out quite cute. I get lots of compliments on it when Miss C wears it.
