MM - The 33min Cardy REfashion

'MakeOver Monday' 
... sharing how I cut up & REmake items from my wardrobe 
in the hope you'll pick up scissors & start cutting up yours!

Todays class wasn't starting 'til 9am
and with the brownies baked, jug filled & vacumming done
I decided the pink cardy I planned on wearing 
needed REashioning


because of the revolting ribbing 
and length


all it took was
 bias binding, scissors

[to save time - mark the finished length & cut 
while folding the bottom edge as you go using it as the cutting guide]  

 a walking foot

[wide bias binding makes a fantastic false hem & stops the knit from rolling]
 and if you take into account the time it took for photos
then a dash up stairs to get the teen to take more
it was really more like 25mins of my time


 to complete the Ribbing Removal REfashion


and if you dislike ribbing as much as I do
 it was 25 minutes well spent!
