This knit dress has been stashed away for many years. It was the dress I wore when I fell and tore my knee cartlidge (the other knee). I guess it just had that bad memory associated with it and I didn't want to be reminded of it through a piece of clothing. Of course, prior to that accident I didn't have the curvy hips that I have today and that in its self makes this dress style obsolete for my current body shape. I put it aside thinking that it would be cut up into scraps and used for another sweater blanket one of these days.
I changed my mind recently and cut it short making it into a tunic. I love that I have another sweater to take the chill off this winter. I don't know why I didn't think about doing this earlier? Possibly, it was my aversion to mending and alterations in general. I'm just glad I didn't cut it up for scraps.
Happy
That's a great sweater! You are so talented! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, all I did was take a pair of scissors, chop away and serge. There was absolutely no talent involved at all. Shhh, don't tell anyone.
