What I did with an old jumper

Cut it up!! Turned an ugly old jumper into more useful mittens and beanie!  Inspired by the internet of course.  Google recycled sweaters and you will find a tutorial.  Or get yourself either "Felt it, Stitch it, Fabulous" by Katheryn Tidwell Bieber, or  "The Crafty Minx" by Kelly Doust. I should visit some flower making sites for a tutorial because I had a crap time making these flowers by myself.   There are no short cuts to a nice fabric flower it seems.  It's defiantly an "Art". lol
