Make Something Today - Upcycling Sweaters to Mittens and Hats

"Make Something Today" idea sheets are full of curated craft projects made with items you can find at your local Goodwill store. Right now we are featuring hats and mittens made with sweaters. We have stocked our shelves so you can get started right away.

One of our own team members here at Goodwill likes to make crafts and shared with us a pair of pink and gray mittens she made with two wool sweaters. 
          

She told us that once she worked out the pattern they were fairly simple to sew. These are fleeced lined and boy are they warm and cozy! One of our customers kindly modeled a coat from the Alcott Half Off Store and the upcycled sweater mittens.
