DIY Fashion-#2

Dear Friends, Thanks very much for the encouragement. It is warming to the heart. It guides me to stay on course. So for today, I will teach you  how to make yourself  this cute spring jacket. It is so easy that you'll be  done in no time at all. Then you will make another one. And another..

1. Dig out from your wardrobe light wool sweaters that you will sacrifice to the chopping board.
   
2. Make sure you have a pair of sharp scissors.
   
3. Lay the sweater flat on the table or floor.
   
4.  Cut open in the middle, from the front to the waist.
   
5.  Cut off sleeves at least 8 inches from the wrist. This pair, you can use as pockets.  To make pockets, sew together the edge where you did the cutting from the inside so when you turn it inside-out, you have a pair which again you can decorate if you wish. Attach pockets in place, making sure you leave two top sides of the sleeve free to allow two  compartments per pocket. One for the cell phone, another for the Ipod. 
   
6.  Attach ribbons near the neckline if you want to be able to close your jacket.
   
7.  Now, because it is wool, you do not have to secure the edges with a binding. It will not unravel.

            There you go, happy spring cleaning.
