Fall Sweater Refashion

I decided to add a ruffle to an old sweater this week.  Can you guess where I got my inspiration?  This is a beautiful tree we pass each morning on our way to school.  I LOVE the gold leaves every fall.  The smelly Ginko berries that fall from it... not so much.  

It was simple.  I saw a similar one  in Anthropology a while back. I wanted it so bad but I couldn't convince myself to buy it.  I couldn't buy it because I knew it would be so easy to make myself.

Before

After!  Simple and cute!  I cut into an old T-shirt that is the same beautiful gold I am seeing every morning!  Every year I am in awe when the leaves change.  Fall  colors are so amazing!

We didn't get color like this in the North West where I grew up.  Everything was green, and stayed green all year.  Not a bad thing, just different.

 

I made the ruffle go all the way around the hood of the sweater and all the way back down the other side.  I love it.  It looks cute on.  Your going to have to take my word for it.  If I were to show you I would have to rely on the photography skills of an 8 year old.
 

There is lot's to do this week.  We are starting our "project Night" where my kids and I will make Christmas gifts for their friends and family one night a week.  I will post a few of our latest masterpieces soon.  
Happy Monday!
