I made recycled wool shorties! Come see and tell me what you think?

[sweetangelbrynlie]

I made shorties for the first time. I found a dirty, but beautiful wool sweater at a thrift shop that they were going to throw away, so I got it and made up some shorties. It needed to be washed first, but I was so excited and made them without washing Ill wash later.

I have this thing about when I make something it doesn't look good to me. If I make it I automatically think there is something bad wrong with it. I don't know why.

I messed up on the elastic and made the elastic spot big and wide, but it doesn't affect it at all.

Here they are, tell me what you think.

I cut and pasted, and those are cute! I got several sweaters over the weekend, but none as cute as that! Maybe I need to dig a little deeper.

They are so cute! I recently starting making those for my niece. I had some iron-on monograms that I hadn't used, so I made her one pair with monograms on the bum!

They are very cute. And the wide casing - looks kind of like the current style with yoga pants, etc.

You said you didn't wash the sweater first...

Was it already felted? I hope so otherwise it's going to have to be felted in order to work. To felt you simple wash on Hot and dry on Hot 3 complete times. It shrinks quite a bit but this is how it gets the tight weave that keeps from leaking. HTH

Too cute! What did you use for a pattern? I want to make some!
