I use mine to make pillows for my dogs beds.
I think they really dress up a cushion on a chair! Good luck and stay safe!
Hello Pam,
There are so many things you could make. It depends on you.........Cushion - Leg warmers - Mittens - Hat - Pot covers etc. All you have to do is find or make a pattern for the item you want to make and then use the sweater like fabric, and just cut it out and sew it up as you would any piece of fabric.........Don't worry too much about it! Just have a go!
Lots of ideas!
