Upcycled Sweater Scarf: A Mo’ Better Sweater

Posted on November 5, 2008 by Doug Gunzelmann in Clothes+Accessories, DIY

We found this item on Etsy, made by Gaye Abandon, based out of Melbourne Australia. Scrap pieces of cut up sweaters (used for their other projects) were stitched together into this appealing and unique scarf. A truly beautiful form!

Using a zig zag stitch (found on any sewing machine) the sweater scraps in black, grey, blue, and brown offer a fuzzy and textured finish that could make an easy DIY winter project.

Gaye Abandon in particular crafts their wares using a no waste policy and 100% wind generated energy. They also use old sweaters to make wallets and tube arm warmers. Check them out on Etsy.
