I usually pick up wool sweaters and turn them into longies for cloth diapers, leggings, etc... My mother happened across a lovely shade of orange and picked it up for me. Since the sweater was already an extra small, it wasn't going to work for for longsies. I decided to make a simple and easy skirt for me 3yr.old. Only problem is, I love it so much... I wish it was big enough for me 

Find yourself a wool sweater and wash on the hotest cycle possible. Dry on the hottest setting. This is fulling or felting the sweater. - Remember, the sweater will shrink ALOT so try and keep that in mind while looking at sizes(Xsm,Sm,Med,large,Xlg)
