Merrily Mending Away: Old Sweatshirt, New Cardigan

This was actually headed to the donate pile when I thought of slicing it up the centre front. It was a wee bit tight in the mid-section as a pullover sweatshirt type top.


Now, it is perfect for those physio therapy appointments and hanging around the house.

Happy Sewing Mending!
