Perhaps you have a beautiful sweater that you for some reason are not wearing: a shrinkage occurred when washing in hot water, or he was originally small to you. But sorry to throw a sweater with beautiful patterns. Why not turn it into another stylish thing? For example, skirt. The skirt from the sweaters is done with her own hands very simply, which makes it possible to cope with the task even to someone who cannot sew. Especially since textile glue can be used to fix the knitted web.
Required materials and tools:
- sweater;
- glue for fabric;
- threads;
- scissors;
- rubber;
- needles;
- pins;
- yarn for pumps and cord.
Cut the sweater
Cut the sweater you will have only under the sleeves. Next, we will use the glue to fasten the knitted web, so protect the surface of the table with the film in advance so as not to stain it.
Prevent breaking threads
Remove the sliced part of the sweaters inside out and apply glue directly along the edge of the cut. Textile glue or tissue glue will prevent the thread breaking. Use adhesive only good quality. When frozen, it should become transparent, be elastic, and, of course, firmly connect the details. Before proceeding to the next step, give the surface that you are treated with glue dry.
Make a belt under the gum
By moving a slightly knitted leather sweater, apply a thin strip of glue near the slice itself. Immediately wrap and press the cloth by forming a hole for gum. Fix the glued part of the pins. Before inserting an elastic band, measure its width. Suppose it is approximately 2 cm. Bonding the canvas, leave the hole about this width to stretch the gum. To dry up with textile glue, it takes at least an hour, so we leave our semi-finished product at this time, and in order not to waste time, we will make the manufacture of pompons.

We make pumps and braided cord
Pumps for decoration skirt small. We screw the yarn about 80 times on the index and the middle finger and leave the thread about 15 cm. This thread pull the threads between your fingers twice, tighten it tightly and remove the yarn from the fingers. Cut the thread by forming a neat pompon. We need two pumps to decorate the skirt. Of the six yarn yarn threads of the same length, we flure a pigtail about 40 cm long. Fix pumps at the ends of the pigtails. Now we can continue to make a skirt from the sweater with your own hands.
Take a rubber band
Credit rubber band with pin, reduce it to the desired length, sew the ends. Cock the hole that left to make a gum.
Send pumps
We fold the braided cord in half and sew the center of the skirt. The work is done. You have become the owner of a stylish skirt from the sweater made by their own hands. And no one guess that quite recently she was a sweater.
