If the sweater has stretched out over time, left the fashion or just tired, do not rush to part with another good thing. You do not know what you can do from it? Then you definitely use the selection of cozy, practical and pretty ideas for alteration. And everyone who knows how to keep the needle in their hands can repeat.
Pillows and blankets
Interesting ideas so much that no wonder is confused - what to choose? The decision remains for you, my task is to show as many interesting and simple options for reincarnation of the sweater.
Let's start with simple ways, the examples of which are shown in the photo below. To carve out and sew two rectangles die on even a novice master, right? The clasp bar can be located on the side so that it does not face. Or, on the contrary, place it in the most prominent place: Decor from buttons will never come out of fashion.
Single products will revitalize the "belt" from a motley fabric or stylish applique. Just Note: For the details of the latter, the canvas of a large mating or from a slippery yarn (silk, viscose, microfiber) is not suitable. With knitwear, it is more difficult to work at all, so I would advise newbies to start exploring the applique from felt, fleece, etc.
A round floor pillow will never be superfluous, besides sitting on it very convenient. It is easier for it simple, even a sewing machine will not need it!
If you wish, you can equip the chairs with cushions sideways from children's sweaters, they are uniquely thrown away much more than ours!
I liked the covers made in the technique of Patchwork - cute and cozy! From a practical point of view, this method also has a plus: small parts can be carved even from the "killed" sweater (torn, poured paint, etc.).
The following idea of alteration is suitable exclusively for the decor. You can cover your head on a huge flower, but it will be unequivocally inconvenient. But as the original detail of the interior of the flower pillow is impressive.
Consider all sorts of options for alterations of the sweater in the pillow, it is possible to infinity, but it's time to move on: a lot of interesting things are still ahead.
For example, blanket. Judging by the reviews of those who have enough patience to embody the idea in reality, the bedspreads are extremely cozy.
Pay attention to the connection method. In the photo on the left, the details are sewn manually: the canvas will be softer, but the seams may not withstand washing. In the picture on the left, the squares are connected on the sewing machine: the strength is provided, but the bedspread will be tougher.
Happers and mittens
For me to buy a knitted cap - a difficult task: I don't like the color, then the style is not mine, then the yarn is no one. I think this problem concerns not only me, so I collected various ideas of alteration: one to face is a simple hat, another - a flirty beret.
You can make a set: mittens and a hat in a single style, the sweater is enough for everything. Patterns and options for layouts of parts are easy to find on the Internet, and it will not work, the signage in the comments, I will help.
If there are no need in the caps, the mittens will not be superfluous: in the winter of economic work on the street is no less than in the summer. And several pairs will come in the defector: while one dries on the battery, you can wear another for a walk. Plus, you are insured against the need to urgently rush to the store for mittens if the child has lost the only pair.
Slippers, socks and leggings
That is what the sleeves that remained after we sewed a pillow. In fact, sin throw almost ready leggings! Describe the practical value of this detail of the wardrobe is meaningless: to really feel how warmer and more comfortable in them, you just need to try.
The picture below is excellent ideas for those who do not know how to knit. The patterns are pleasant simple, and you can choose the options for socks from a minimum (2) parts. The main seams are desirable to perform by car (so the product will be stronger), and the sections of the sections are decorated with a manual gripping seam.
No harder to produce slippers. Here, look, approximate layout of parts on a sweater and ready-made pair of home shoes.
Bags and covers
Take a look at the photo below: Cute covers for tablets and smartphones were recently sweaters. It's nice that the manufacture of "clothes" will be needed from the strength of 20-30 minutes.
A lot of interesting options for the serve sweaters in the bag. It turns out quite unusual and attractive, I tried, I know! Practical Council: Since the hands are faster than all the handles, it is advisable to make them out of a more durable material: strong inelastic fabric or eco-tree.
The model in the photo on the left is suitable for young girls: original, bright, compact (but phone, cosmetics, the keys will fit into it). A handbag in the picture on the right will certainly give preference to the ladies older: comfortable, spacious and color democratic.
Stuffed Toys
In this idea, I involuntarily delayed: Cute cats, bears and dogs were so much that it turned out to choose a few ideas for the selection. In my opinion, a self-made soft toy where a nice factory is definitely safer. The sweater is not difficult to wrap up to a sterile state, and as a filler you can take anything, from cotton wool to cherry bones.
The miniature toys fell in love immediately: not only that they are incredibly charming, so also the diminser in my taste! Imagine how many mice or birds will come from one sweater!
By the way, small children love small toys very much. An example from life: I bought a 2-year-old caramel caramel, with a fleece kitten glued to wrapper. Flat, without filler, torso - a triangle, on the face embroidered eyes and spout. The ears were, and the manufacturer forgot about the tail. In general, not a toy, but one name. And what would you think: the child did not let her out of the hands of several months: the cat was bought with us, walked, slept, ate. I distributed a lot of toys or secretly threw away from children, but the deserved kitten saved for memory.
The aesthetic side of some toys will leave aside: for example, I would not sew my bunny or a dog or a dog as a photo below. However, I saw photos of kids in an embrace with similar animals, and the view from the kids was absolutely happy.
As for me, the toy should be cute and comfortable. I did not think that the following options would like my teenage girls, but I was mistaken: the children were delighted and urgently demanded something like that. No, I do not intend to sew this, and if they get a similar beauty in a similar beauty, ahead, a needle in his hands can hold.
Pet pets
Animal clothes are expensive, and some breeds need warm vests even cool in summer, not to mention the winter. And again the old sweater will come in handy: look at how easy it is to make an uncomplicated vest for your pet.
Models of layers from old sweaters are simply stunning! As if the favorite owner hugs his precious Murzik or the ball, right? On such a bed, the sleep of adorable pet will certainly be especially sweet, well, and saving money, again ...
And when the pet wakes up, please it with a new toy that you just sewed. Homemade balls at least two advantages over factory: first, they are light and soft, nothing will disach anything and do not have to endure annoying sounds. Secondly, get free, not counting Labor and time to manufacture (but it does not count, for the four-legged pet, we do not feel sorry for us!).
Anyway
This section gathered everything in a little to show as many different variants of alterations as possible.
Knitted lampshade is an excellent idea: original, stylish, practical. Taking into account the fact that sewing will take much less time than knitting, also conveniently. By the way, the model in the photo on the left is the champion in the speed of the rework: cut off the sweaters with the sleeves, pulled the remaining rectangle on the lampshade, refuel inside the cropped edge - ready!
Knitted "clothes" for new pots transform the interior of the room and reliably hide unsightly containers, such as tin cans or plastic bottles.
The sleeves are better suited for alteration into elegant bottle covers. Agree, it is easy to put a pretty bottle to put on the table or present as a gift.
Pay attention to the picture on the left: Sweater sleeves in the blink of an eye can be turned into stylish bags for all sorts of erase (nuts, sweets, seeds, etc.). A little time will need to embody the ideas in the photo on the right: in my opinion, the perfect version of the decor of the basket for needlework.
After sewing the bags, do not throw off the trimming of the sleeves, you can make it possible to make wonderful decorations. It will take the basis (plastic or wooden bracelet) and quick-drying glue ("moment", "second", etc.) Cut the slice of the sleeves of the desired size, refuel the edges inward and glue them to the base.
The shell cover is needed not so much for beauty, as for security reasons. Learn more about the stages of its manufacture, a new life of an old sweater is described in the material: 5 ideas for alteration. I want to draw your attention to the idea of the right: a model with zipper is very convenient to use.
There was still a lot of interesting on the sneakers: cute little things for holidays, interior crafts of complex manufacture, clothes for kids, etc. But I specifically left you a scope for fantasy: What would you do from the old sweater? Any ideas?
