Challenge - Lets see how much stuff we can make out of a pile of old jumpers....
This is a story of a girl that found she could buy a whole charf bag full of jumpers from Vinnes for 7 bucks fifty...and tried to discover just how much she could do with them.
$7.50. I mean thats just an amazing amount of materials for minimal money. I sorted through the bag and got the good ones out to wash and the dogs scored some lovely ones for their bed.
My Stitch n Bitch group are planning on buying a Bale(yes bale) of jumpers for $42 dollars and have a weekend session at a hall to see what projects we can do with the jumpers.
I am going to see how much i can make out of the jumpers left. I am going to call this the Jumper Project for Australians ....oh and still the jumper project for Americans (took me forever to realise that's what they were talking about in those Babysitter Club books as a kid, "sweaters"? Huh?)
