Sweater-alls: Take Two!
If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile, you might recall some sweater overalls that I made for my now two-year-old.
I really loved them on him, and they were such a super quick upcycling project. So I thought I’d make some for the baby this time around!
Yes, I do realize that I just made a tank top for my oldest and now I’m making sweater-alls for my youngest – in the same KCWC. But that’s spring in Wisconsin… for real. This week it was 80 one day and 50 the next. So we go with the flow.
Just like the original, these sweater-alls were upcycled from a thrift store sweater, using a pair of overalls as a template.
These are also lined with some knit fabric, but do you see those serged edges? Yeah, that was not the original plan. I completely sewed the wrong sides together, leaving the serged edges exposed. As I began to unpick with my seam ripper, I realized it would take me for.e.ver to do that… so I just decided to make it work.
And this time around? I didn’t even attempt the button hole through the sweater nightmare. Instead, the fabulous coconut buttons are just for show, with snaps hidden underneath.
I never saw the overalls. I couldn’t get past that face!!!
ha! thanks, andrea. :) he is quite charming!
Clever with the snaps. :) So cute!
Adorable. :-)
I LOOOOVE THIS! Did you make the whole thing out of sweater arms? I don’t see a seam up the middle. How did you do this. I want to make something like this out of one of my thrift store sweaters for my son’s birthday in a couple weeks and would really appreciate your input.
