Sweater Sleeves into Little Girl's Leggings

First of all, I cannot believe that I haven't done this yet, but I wanted to thank you for visiting, subscribing and reading my little blog.
What started off as a little challenge to write a quick tutorial on a blog, has morphed into something much bigger. The blog fuels my hobbies, and in turn, this motivates me to write about the little projects I'm passionate about. There are not many people in my 'real life' that I can talk to about sewing and crafting, so I'm so glad to know that there is a whole community of people out there with whom I can share with! I'd like to think that I've made some bloggy friends along the way too.
So, thank you very much!!

I've neglected refashioning for a while now, so here's a quick one!

My friend passed this cashmere-blend sweater a while ago. It had a broken zipper, and there was some pilling on the front and back panel of the body. However, the sleeves were in very decent shape.


Using an old (very, very, very old!) pair of leggings as a guide, I manage to create a lovely pair of leggings for my daughter. It looks like I could have added more of an inseam to the seat of the leggings. However, because of the elastic I inserted at the waist band, the leggings seem to stay up rather well.



I'm happy to report that this pair of leggings has become a favorite. It goes nicely under dresses. Perfect for the cool spring mornings!
