How to upcycle a sweater to a dress

First, find the sweater you want to remake. I chose this hoodie since it was a little too short for comfort.

Measure where you want to cut it. I cut it off just below the boobs.

Pick out the fabric for the skirt-part of the dress and lay it under the cut-off sweater. Add some seam allowance on all sides.

I find it easiest to take a dress I know fits good and use that as a pattern. Cut out all the dress pieces. I just cut out the skirt-part for this one saving the top-part as it is. 

First, sew the sides of the skirt together. You might have to take in the sides of the sweater a bit before sewing the skirt to the sweater. 

I modified the arms a bit, making them slightly longer so they fit over my hand. 

This is a very easy modification that can turn your old worn favorite sweater into something new. I saved the arms for this one but you can easily make it armless.
