It Is that time of year again......

It is that time of year again....... time to repurpose old worn out sweaters and sweatshirts into legwarmers and fingerless gloves and hats and fun bags and purses. I dont get the urge to do this till the first few cool days of Fall.

Here i have taken a childs knitted sweater that had a adorable sunflower pattern .It was free from a friend :)  I was able to cut it so i will have the sunflower motifs to turn into small bags and then the arms will become fingerless gloves or short legwarmers......havent decided which yet. I am hoping to get to work on this later this evening .The buttons are just too cute.........I will save them for an arm cuff possibly.. 

Next I have a childs embroidered shirt that i will be taking apart for the designs. Lots of crafty ideas to use it with..

This dusty blue childs sweater has seen better days.....but still plenty of wear left to turn into arm warmers and then rest of it I will save and use to stuff draft stoppers for the house doors.

The yellow childs sweatshirt is also worn out.......but i have cut it apart and will use as the insides for potholders . Rest of it will be 2 small cleaning rags and then whatever is left goes to be used as stuffing for the draft stoppers.

Then i traded a pair of earrings for several pieces of 1/4 yd fleece. Bit small for what I normally use ......but it also will be perfect for insides of potholders ....dare i mention that all my friends are probaly getting handquilted potholders for xmas ?
