recycling sweaters

'my
If I start with a worn out sweater from my wardrobe (which I got at a thriftstore last summer), and I cut off the arms and sew darts in the neckline, then take in the sides, and sew on a few decorative buttons, what I get is a sweater dress for Hypatia. Yay - what was basically junk (stains, stretched out, blah), is now a new dress for her.
