Aqua Sweater Refashion

I wasn't feeling the tight neck, so I decided to loosen it up a bit. I got this sweater at the Goodwill Outlet in St. Louis where everything (literally, everything) is 79 cents per pound, except glass and books, which are 39 cents per pound. I estimate the cost of this sweater at about 12 cents. 

I cut off the neck conservatively to account for the stretching.  

I turned it inside out and folded over the edge twice so that the raw edges were not visible. 

I took it over to my machine and sewed it down with matching thread, but I left the presser foot on the machine raised so it didn't stretch out the neck even more. 

Later I frolicked. 

Then I frolicked more. 

Then I wrestled my phone away from Gabby. 

My awesome photographer Gabby! 

Goodwill Find

So.....after a very successful trip to the Goodwill Outlet (my favorite store, ever), I found this atrocious record of some people singing Earth, Wind and Fire songs with this God-awful cover and I thought of my gal pal Dulce and bought it as wall art. It will definitely be making the journey back to Gambier to find its new home on our wall, if we ever get a room.
