Resize (reuse, refashion)

In an attempt to reduce the amount of clutter in the house, I have been constantly donating clothes that I know will no longer use. Why bother holding on to something that just takes up room in the house. After all, someone else could make better use of it. However, there is just this one sweater that keeps going onto the pile, and then back into my closet, even though I have not worn it for about 4 years.

So, if an effort to make this monstrosity of a sweater (I look like I've been swallowed by a dark green seaweed... er, something like that), into something I'd wear, I decided to re-size it, to better fit my frame.

Edit: Look! Someone else did the exact same thing at Wardrobe Refashion!

Much better fit! (It could look sexier with some detailing, but I refuse to touch it anymore: I don't want it to look too "crafty" or " kitschy". Heh)
