Last month in my Fabscrap order I receieved this sample knit sweater in their Make Your Own Ugly Christmas Sweater kit. The sweater was my size, only I thought it was too pretty to trash up with a lot of Christmas junk, so I decided to thrift a replacement and instead repair and wear this one.
These are all the tape, tags and safety pins I removed from the sample sweater (one is in Chinese.) They make me think this sweater design was probably changed a lot, so mine is likely one of a kind.
I sewed up a couple of small holes, hemmed the sleeves to fit my arms, and then because it was a bit short for me I decided to add a bit of crochet to the bottom to lengthen it (using thrifted yarn, of course.)
I could have tried to loom knit a piece I could add to the bottom, but honestly I'm still learning how to loom so crocheting it was faster.
The sweater came out nice enough to wear, so I'm happy with it.
