    Cool Gardening gloves from a sweatshirt, Upcycle

    ~I made these yesterday from an old sweatshirt:

    I posted a tutorial on my blog if anyone wants to know how I did it. It's basically just trace and sew, 10 minutes start to finish.
    I can get 2 more pairs out of this sweatshirt. I paid $.10 for it so that's a pretty good deal for 3 pairs of gardening gloves. ~

    You are so talented! I wish I was better at sewing. I don't know why I have so much trouble with it.

    there is a blog link near the top of the forums.

    Or if you click on a persons name there is a link to their blog in the drop down menu.

    Thanks nuisance....might have to try this.

    I prefer the leather but they are so expensive. I would have to do something with the finger tips for protection. My ground is so rocky I can go through a pair a week if not sturdy on the finger tips.

    Maybe these could 'tide me over' until I found a good sale on the goatskin.
    Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.
