So. I have joined a group called Project Re-Style. Every Week for a year they want you to re-purpose or Re-Style something old, that you no longer use, and make it new again. This is my first Re-Style. I have been wanting a sweater vest for about 3 years now, and I could never find one I liked. I finally said the heck with it. But last night in bed , right before I fell asleep I thought, " What the heck, I could make a vest super easy out of an old sweater." I Was so excited about how it turned out. It looks exactly how I envisioned it.I Have Posted this on The Shabby Nest for Frugal Friday. Post your Frugal crafts HERE and join in on the Fun.  |

Tutorial
 |
| Start with an old Sweater. I have had this for about 4 years. |
 |
| Carefully cut the sleeves off. If you cut after the two pieces meet, it looks neater. |
 |
| I cut the ends of the sleeves off to make the flowers. |
 |
| I folded each sleeve cap different to make two different flowers. |
 |
| One was sewn on the fold. |
 |
| the other I flipped and sewed it on the other side. |
 |
| One makes a double flower, one a single flower |
 |
| Sew to sweater, anywhere you like. |
 |
| You could add as many flowers as you like. I like the look of two flowers. |
 |
| I found two neutral buttons. |
 |
| And sewed them in as the flowers center. |
 |
| All Done and SOOOOOOOOO Easy. |
 |
| Yeah! A new sweater vest for FREE to add to my wardrobe. |
If you have any questions, just ask away.
Happy Re- Styling!
