How to Make a Shrug and Skirt Set out of an Old Sweater
By threadbangerHere are the step-by-step instructions for making your own matching shrug and skirt out of an old sweater. For more information, check out the video!
This works best with a tight-fitting, tightly-knit sweater.
1.
Try on the sweater to get an idea of where you need to make your
markings. Get out some tailor's chalk and draw some lines starting at
the top front part of the collar and goes all the way around the back.
2. Once you've got your line drawn out, take out your scissors and cut along the line.
3.
Next, finish your edge. Set your machine to a zig zag stitch and sew
along the edge you just cut. This will create a nice ruffle effect also
known as lettuce edging. And you have yourself a new shrug!
4. Take out the bottom part of the sweater you cut off and even up the edge.
5.
Use the zigzag stitch to finish the bottom edge. And you are finito!
Now you can go show your friends how DIY stylin' you are!
