So, I have this sweater...
which I hated wearing because the arms were so tight they felt like...
THIS!
Yes, the chinese finger pull. I know you've tried them! And wouldn't that be so annoying feeling like your arms are in a pull all day! So what did I do...
Chop it up and use it for a craft!
This is only the pockets of the sweater, but I did use the whole sweater for a project I will show you soon.
What can you make with sweater pockets?? Sew them up the side, and...
Voila!
I guess you could call them arm cuffs? Or maybe arm warmers??
All I know is...
This little one now feels like the coolest cat around!!
You want some arm cuffs too now right?!!
What did I do with the rest of the sweater? Stay tuned...

She is definitely a cool cat.
But I was really hoping you had a fix for the Chinese finger pull sweater. I've got a couple of those myself...
Adorable!!!!!!!!!!

Great reuse! Adorable, too!
supercool, like a rock star.
i have a sweater like this also, and, as it has no pockets, i am still holding off on cutting it up... but in my mind it has been already many things: a bag, a pillow, sleeves with inserts, and my latest idea is to cut them open and simply add a 'corset' ribbon for extra space... kind of like this idea here, http://www.finecraftguild.com/starbucks-coffee-cup-holder-easy-beach-craft/, only my arms go into the corset rather than a coffee cup.... what do you think?? Corset on the outside of the arms...

Rose, definitely a corset for your arms. I love the link you sent, and I think having them on your arms is way cooler than coffee cup:) Keep me posted when you finish your sweater project!
Very cute idea! I love the pillow..it has a winter feel too..nice and cozy!
I love how you repurposed the sweater! These are great for covering gaps between gloves and sleeves too!
oh so cute. i have no sweaters to use for this, but i'll be on the look out!! wow!!
How cute! She looks so warm...her wrists do at least! I'm guessing you made a pillow? No? Then I can't wait to find out!
