A stained turtleneck sweather

What was your inspiration?

I had a turtleneck sweater that was on its way to the garbage due to a stain on the front. With this class, I was able to use the sweater, and the stained area was completely cut away.

What are you most proud of?

This was a fun way to upcycle a garment that was fashionable and fun. I want to make another one!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Go for it! This is an easy, and fun project. Plus, it literally cost me ZERO $$! :D
