Here We Go...





Okay. So I went to Goodwill (and also Walmart) the other day. I forgot to take pictures of everything I got, so those will come later. My first project (probably a mistake, as this is my maiden voyage of upcycling) is a 3-button sweatshirt. Here's the tutorial I'm following.

Okay. So I bought a cheap, oversized, gray sweatshirt from Walmart.

It looks like this.

Then, I unpicked and removed the pockets, and cut out the zipper.







Next time I have time, I will take in the arms, dart the shoulders, and create button holes. I also plan on dying it purple, because gray is boring. I need to get some fun buttons too. 

Other projects for the near future include a casual dress (perhaps), and a wallet made from a tie. I'll post tutorials when I start working on them. That is all. Have a lovely day!
