Readers learn how to choose, cut, restitch, felt, and embellish old sweater fabric, transforming it into beautiful handbags, mittens, scarves, hats, hoodies, skirts, jewelry, soft toys, pillows, and more!

 

Complete instructions for 27 projects, plus a huge gallery of exciting ideas for further inspiration.
