Sweater Leg warmers - tutorial

Remember my sweater pillows? I said to keep the extra pieces for other projects....here is one of those projects! 

Supplies:

Sweater (I used a heavy cable knit one)

Scissors or rotary cutter/ruler/mat

sewing machine

Buttons (optional)

sewing needle and thread (optional)

Step 1: Lay out your sweater flat and cut off the arms of the sweater as close to the shoulder hem as you can. 

Step 2: Fold over the top raw edge about 1/2" and pin. Then sew to create a finished top edge. 

Step 3: optional - Handsew buttons down the length of 1 side. 

Step 4: Slip on over your boots or skinny jeans and fold under the top edge as needed or desired! 

If you create some - please share a picture!

what I learned: Cable knit sweaters don't "give much or have much elasticity. It's better to choose a sweater that has some give to it.
