Ruby Red Cotton Sweater Up-Cycle - XL Misses 

 

For a quick video about this garment, click on the 2nd frame (with play arrow) below the large first garment photo above. 

 

The base is a red cotton sweater - XL men's.  To that, I added strips of a silk burnout scarf in 'strap seams', and some pieces of a tweedy type sweater and 3 antique buttons.  You can read all about the creation of this garment at my Blog Post HERE.
