Holey Polo to Sweet Bolero!

Ever have that cute dress or top that needs a simple cover-up, but all your cardigans and boleros are either too hot, or too formal?

Then I've got the tutorial you've been waiting for ;)

I started out with this simple grey polo.

Seems fine, right? Why refashion it?

Holes galore! Eek!

Don't be too quick to throw out items that have a few holes! If they aren't reparable, you can still use the non-holey parts to make something else!

I chopped off the bottom of the shirt, right under that pocket. Holes begone!

Then I pulled out my trusty seam ripper!

Picked out all the stitches holding the button and button-hole sides together...

And then just snipped through the remaining bit of cloth!

Last thing is to finish the bottom edge.

If you pull on stretch or knit fabric while doing a zig-zag stitch over the edge, you'll get a pretty lettuce hem!

And that's it! Ta-dahhhh!

Comfy, casual bolero!

Wear it open or button it up!

So now you know! Don't throw away holey, old things you don't wear any more - keep them out of the landfill, and get something brand new to wear and use!

Thanks for reading!

Mwa!
