Voila!
…to be honest, I wish the roll on top was a bit larger. I may actually do this again once I find the perfect sweater …because I LOVE IT!
…I rolled/stitched the tops of the cut-off arms & made leg warmers. I. hate. waste. & I. love. leg warmers.
* The shorts are from Victoria’s Secret …but it doesn’t look like they have them any more 🙁
