What if you never had to again?
Taking upcycle sweaters and turning them into crafts such as throw pillow coversare so much fun!
Never let go of a sweater memory again with these upcycled sweaters!
Sometimes, it is because I think Ill need it when I know I never really do.
It just sits in the closet just in case the opportunity arises.
Other times though, a sweater may carry a significant memory that makes it hard to let go of.

Instructions
Measure the pillow form you plan to use.
This is the size youll make the finished throw pillow covers.
Add a 12 seam allowance to the length and width for sewing.
Cut the pieces out of the sweater.
Decide which part of the sweater you want to use.
For example, I wanted the cable knit part of this sweater centered on my throw pillow.
This edge wont unravel so best to use for joining after the pillow form is inserted.
Align the sweater pieces with RIGHT sides together.
At the sewing machine, align the matching strip with the seam and sew all layers together.
Repeat this on the other 3 sides.
Turn right side out and insert the pillow form.
Finish the open end with hand sewing for a tidy clean seam.
And there it is!
Your new pillow from upcycled sweaters.
