Sweater recon

I was a bit nervous today as I had a 3pm appointment to find out the results of my neuropsychiatric testing (spoiler alert- I passed!). Can't wait to put this stroke behind me. Celebrated by going to thrift shop and getting this sweater. Now I have an outfit that's far too risqué for anything I actually do.






Sewed up the sides and sewed an encasement for elastic waistband. Then haphazardly sewed indentations along the vertical seam just to make it more interesting (and shorter, maybe too short).

Then used the sleeves as leg warmers (wrist band on the top holding them up). Had a bit of extra from the sleeves and below the collar to cobble together for a neck warmer. Used almost every scrap of material!
