    The fleece sweater turned out cute!
    Tip for cat bed stuffing cut up your left over scraps from projects 1 through 10 no waste! This makes the bed goed and sturdy.

    Love how your refashion turned out, just adorable. Extending the gore up past the armhole is such a fantastic idea. You're absolutely brilliant.
    Can't wait to put them into some of my tops that I've outgrown due to my taste for Krispy Kreme donuts. It's a win/win. I'll get to wear cute new tops and eat dessert....life is good.

      Thank you and it is hard to resist a Krispy Kreme that is for sure so I completely understand. Glad I could help.

    The sweater looks so much better, and the hat is fun. I loved the melon story.

    It's like a sweatshirt only 10 times better! Nice upcycle.

    The applique on the front is lovely. Underarm sleeve gussets are a historical technique I am familiar with, but it never occurred to me to make one into a side gore. I really like how it looks.
    I guess you could stuff a cat bed with fabric scraps ( I've seen footstool / poufs? done that way) but it makes for a hard surface not a comfy one.

    • @SherryJonesDesigns

      I did think about scraps but I don't think they'd wash and dry well plus like you said, not be as soft.

    Hi have to widen my blouses like that all the time because in my senior years my spine has compressed, and I am thick in the middle. I use a complementary fabric. It is very fun to do. Your applique on the front is very fun and makes it so special.

    I Upcycled something similar once. I believe I used plain cotton in addition to the nitted fabric. If you then do the bottom hem with a zigzag stitch, the fabric will create a very nice kind of ruffle without you having to do anything else. So that the cotton I added immediately folded in line with the other fabric

      I might have to do something like that. I have seen people on Etsy use a serger to intentionally make it wave and use it that way. I just have never done it so I'm a bit nervous. I hope this one isn't a fail. I do expect to fail some of the challenges but hope to complete them all.

    I love how the hat looks...I never thought about putting elastic in, I also have a small head size. Thanks for sharing this "fix"

    Love the pink top, great save on the hat. For the pink knit top, cut off sleeves down the sides and a bit under the front stripes, now add back sides with sleeves from a soft shirt, this can upsize a lot, now add tiers to bottom to create a “babydoll” type top hard to describe, but I think it would be so cute! 15:38

      @@SherryJonesDesigns I have a walking foot but don’t use it because for some reason the way it attaches to my machine it wants to unscrew itself and it a real pita. I just use a zig zag stitch and that seems to work.

    Love your last transformation and the expanding method at the side is such a brilliant idea. When you held up the arms my first instinct was leg warmers. Great these days for teens with growing pains. Sorry but no idea for the rest of the garment. X

    My little sister had to do that to her wedding dress, when she discovered that she was pregnant, four months before the wedding…!
    It worked and looked lovely.
    Afterwards she would jokingly advise her friends to just get married instead of delaying it and saving up for a more expensive wedding - she wished she’d gone cheaper because a baby turned out expensive!!!

    Put wax or parchment paper under the dog feed it will slide smoothly with out stretching.

      I'll have to give it a try. Also, a satin foot might help I think. I'm going to see what I can figure out.

    Could you make some twisted headbands? Also, wrist warmer/fingerless gloves?

    If you have bias tape or interfacing or anything like that, make it into half inch strips to use along seams of the difficult fabric. It will stabilize it, but it will also bulk it up . The best product to use would be a soluble stabilizer. Good luck with this one! I got nothing.
