Such a simple delight...cozy boot toppers that work up amazingly fast!  Start with the sleeves from an "old" sweater - how old is up to you - thrift store find or one of those sweaters that just seems to live at the bottom of your drawer. Add a few basic embroidery stitches, a bit of applique and a little lace and you have a one-of-a kind gift or an accessory for your own wardrobe that will draw raves. This would be a fun group project - gather a few girlfriends and mix and match sweaters and fabric scraps.  Try a crochet edging at the top, or add some rick rack or ribbon trim.  Use your imagination and have fun!

Dress them up or slide them over your jeans and slip on your Uggs.  An extra layer of warmth is really nice on cold days.

Simple felt circle appliques make cute flowers.  Add a French knot for the center and some tiny leaves on either side.

Delicate lace and a bit of embroidery adds a feminine touch to your recycled sweater!

 A pattern for these boot toppers is coming soon!  I am experimenting with a few variations and hope to have the pattern ready by my post next week.
