Designer Sweaters? Designer Mittens?

 
 
 
 
 
Where are the sweaters?  There isn't any sweater in the photos, or may be there are some.
 



 
Yes, there are sweaters from 3 name brands, J. Crew, Ralph Lauren, and Ann Taylor, in these photos.    The sweaters are now in the pair of mittens that Maureen made.   These are called the upcycled mittens by feling sweaters that are made from natural fiber such as sheep wool, Angora, mohair, ...   When you find some old sweaters that you are tired of wearing or look old, put them in the washer in hot water to felt them then cut into the things that you want to make such as purse, hat, mittens, ... The old sweaters got a new lease on life, thus "upcycled".

    And it's fun to search at the local thrift stores for bargain sweaters. The creative process never ends!
