1 old sweater
trace my sons hand
sew over the line
cut out
BAM! Mittens!!!
BAM! Mittens!!! I got tired of spending money on new gloves because my son forgets/misplaces his. So, taking an old sweater I was going to throw out anyway - I made mittens.
I made my 3y/o some too, his actually turned out better than my 7y/os and I made his first. They are not perfect, but for a first time they look pretty darn good and will serve the purpose of keeping the cold off.

I think they look awesome! :) Cozy warm too...
SWEET way to Upcycle!! I bet you could make some from 'found' sweaters (from garage sales for a quarter or whatever) and make 'em to sell on Etsy... Worth a shot. That one Thrift Store downstairs from that church has a free basket too and I bet you could glean sweaters from there for this... Great idea!
