Old Sweater, Shrug, Skirt, Holly Jolly How To

I am so making that for my daughter.

sweet! I have about ten of those sweaters -- all circa 1995

How cold was it that you felt your eyeballs were freezing? ( i'm trying to compare to the weather here in the currently foggy Ottawa) Awesome shrug idea though, i'm gonna try it tomorrow. The Sweater isn't too tight fitting but it should work in a similar fashion.

knowlegable info

i like your ideas

love this place..just found it..sharing it with all my crafty friends

hey, love this episode. i was wondering if you guys can do an episode on sweatpants. cause i have plenty of them that is no use to me or is just worn out. its time to give them a diy edge. thanks

I cant wait to make this outfit

AGAIN. One great episode. Really enjoy your energy, and show. Love, Earthkitty

yeah i want to know how to make a really good

that looks nice for fall maybe

wow, i've always wanted to make my own shirts and stuff. and maybe now i can.

Rob i so own a pair of gloves like that too. They are my favorite ever of all time. Tho I have a tendency to forget theat I put the mitten part up and get myself tangled when trying to grab for something. Thanks for the tut now I kno what to make my little sister YAY!!

love the beginning, and cant wait till nest week. more stuff for guys! brings up a good point of mine though, i went to a craft festival today, and no clothing for guys. a lot of cool artworks, baskets and foods, but no clothing for guys, but some for girls.

rockin bod

Great episode! I just discovered your site and I'm totally digging watching all the old episodes. When you were making the shrug, I noticed your dress form was pretty rad. Did you make it yourself? I've seen some duct-tape versions online, and was just wondering if you had any suggestions on how to make one.

this weeks show made me really cold... Lol

corinne! you look fabulous!! I just started making shrugs last week... inspired by your shrug you were wearing at stitch! I'll send pictures! Rob, love the jacket! let me know when you are in austin again!

too cute! I wonder though for those of us who can't pull a mini skirt off (or pull one on for that matter) if you can use the extra material to add more lettuce edges so that the skirt is longer? I'll have to try it!

Such a great how too. Two pieces out of one. Super. And the headband is rocking. I'm in the midst of designing some stuff like it.

Corrine that "outfit" will NOT keep you warm! But it IS very cute so I'll shut up.

great ep guys! Can't wait for the next show :) *Freezing like hell*

OMG Steve shot Rob on Indy Mogul, that bastard, hope you can make a fashionable bandage to cover that hole up. LOVE THE SHOW!!!

I guess I was expecting more projects for the first episode of the season, but still a creative idea!

Hey, nice project, I was wondering if you could have a special knitting show. Please and thank you, like about how pural knitting is diff. from the other kind and how to make your projects even. So like one end of the scarf won't be smaller then the other end.

could you make the shrug any longer without it losing its shape?

bahahahah I thought Rob was wearing a sock on his hand, until I saw the thumbs... I wonder if one could make mittens from old socks? No wait, let me rephrase that: I wonder if Threadbangers can find a way to make mittens from socks, then enlighten me onto their power of making ones hands cozy and warm :)

wooohoo i love the idea im gonna make my lil sis a shrug

I want to make a shrug but I don't know how tight the sweater should be on me before I proceed. Love the lettuce edging.

What is the big headband thingy Corinne was wearing when they were outside? It looked really neat and I want to try to make something like it. By the way, this episode was great! Rob trying to do the scissor hands, haha!

yay, i can't wait for more "holly jolly" episodes!

sweet....I've been looking at this cardigan sweater with the lettuce edging down the middle but it was like $70....now I can make my own !! just need to go thru my sweaters or hit the Salvation Army!! great show!! how bad is it when my kids start asking me if a new TB is ready yet?!!

Ha! There's my sister goes off my "what to make for Christmas" list :D

cool

Aww, poor Rob! Though, the confused look at the end was amusing. Wasn't it a bit nippy outside to be filming? Well, fun episode. It was short and simple, and I learned that spiffy lettuce-trick. The green sweater kind of emphasized the lettuce...

The shrug is very cute :) I think I would make it a bit longer, and maybe use a big button instead. I love how Rob couldn't do the scissor thing! XD

I love how you guys are doing a holly jolly how-to! This is really awesome. and ditto to the comment on keeping my ears warm.. it's been quite a problem for me :P

super cute!!! i think its time to go cut up a sweater ;D

yay!!!! Holly Jolly How-to! My idea for another show is how to make a cool winter hat or something similar. My ears get cold really easily, what's something simple that would keep them warm and maybe not mess up my hair too? Love you guys!!

Oh cool, I'm not sure if I'd ever wear the skirt, but the 'shrug' thingy is cool ^_^ I don't think I have any old sweaters I want to kill though :

DUDE!! Totally awesome!!! And the finished product is soo cute!! I wish I had had this tut years ago when I had this super cute sweater that I had to get rid of cause it had a stain right on the boobs. This would have been perfect!! *sniffle* I loved that sweater *sniff*

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I've just recently (like two days ago) found a shirt that I've been wanting to transform into a shrug! Thanks Guys!!

Too girly for me. =/ But it looks like the guys are finally getting their episode they've been asking for. :P

That was cool! I cant wait to try that. Rob couldnt do the sissors thing because he was wearing mittens :) Im looking forward to next week!

i cant wait for next week!!

very cute on miss corinne, probably not so cute on me. love your vlog!

Grr, girls get all the cool stuff. But next week will be mine!! BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!

Wow, where do you guys come up with this stuff? Great ideas, I wont have to buy my girlfriends anything for Christmas again!!!

OK, love it! Yay, guy stuff next week. Good, they deserve it. I even loved it before you did the lettuce edging! *g* Wheeee! I totally have a sweater I can do the shrug thing with. I'm not brave enough to pull off the skirt look.
