Fall Sweater Upcycle

Fall is in the air! Time for leaf peeping, apple picking, and pumpkin patches. I can hardly believe the summer is over but it's kind of fun to break out the sweaters and boots.

This week I decided to whip up a fall version of my sweater jacket. This knit oatmeal pullover was simply cut up the middle front, a soft suede skirt was cut up for the bottom ruffle, and lace was added for that original one-of-a-kind look. 

I almost always like to add a pocket to my tops for a cell phone and or other small items so that I can be "hands free" when out and about. This pocket is simple a densely crocheted doily. Sew three sides and leave the top open, easy-peasy.
