Upcycle!!! My absolute favorite thing to!!!

up·cy·cle

/ˈəpˌsīkəl/

verb

past tense: upcycled; past participle: upcycled

“the opportunity to upcycle trash, or turn it into new products, was vast”

(Google’s English Dictionary by Oxford Languages)

Might be a bit too early for a Beanie here in Florida but I had to make it!

By using a beanie I already had as the pattern and this thrifted sweater, in a matter of minutes this cute and simple beanie was created.

I simply laid out my thrifted sweater. Placed my beanie on top along the edge of the sweater keeping the ribbed edge and cut around it adding about 1/4 inch for the seam. Then sewed around the raw edges with my sewing machine then you can either zig zag the edges or serge your edges.

I then hand sewed the Pom Pom to the top. Done!!
