Create Crochet

A crochet refashion

 

 

As part of my ongoing endeavor to have a wardrobe of handmade(ish) clothes.
I have’ allowed’ myself to include customizing as a category…(a wardrobe makeover must have rules don’t you know)

Would you like to see my first effort?
I will explain how I did it, just in case you fancy having a go too?

 

 

So….. assuming you can crochet?

 

You will need:

 A plain jumper old, or new…mine was new, but very cheap a mere 6 pounds.

 

 

 

♥♥♥♥

 

 The 11 year old has been against shopping in this very cheap store recently, due to “slave labour” issues
I told him I was “just looking” whereupon he followed me in.
He had a good look at the till area, declared it “not that bad after all” then proceeded to choose a t-sht with a pug on it for himself.
It dawned on me he had thought the ‘slave labour’ was in store!

♥♥♥♥

…… back to the customizing….

Scraps of yarn with suitable size hook for yarn,

 

and a few favourite crochet patterns of the mandela, doily or coaster type.

 

Simply crochet your doilies,coasters or mandelas…take your time, enjoy

 

 

 

Do remember to block them….very important, makes a huge difference to the finished item.

 

 

then simply apply and pin onto the plain old/new jumper….

 

 

I sewed by hand it was easy and quick.

 

QUICK TIP:

 

 

and thats it…..

 

 

I added a motif to the back and front,

 and added elbow patches from a coaster pattern to the sleeves…

 

Front view….

 

 

Back view….

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nothing to wear for Autumn?

 

 

Customize…

Oh go on give it a go…what do you think?

Bestest to you all

 

 

 

I always appreciate a share!
