It truly is the most wonderful time of year. Think about it. December is the one time of the year when everyone is thinking about the same thing… how to better themselves in the new year. It’s a time for growth, a time for change, a time for reinvention. But before you go off and think about the inner, let’s take a moment to be creative with the outer… more specifically, that dorky sweater that Grandma recently gave you and you have no idea what to do with it.

Before – Take a look at the sweater:

Take One – Here are the basic cut outs to my creation… holiday socks and slippers! I do like the plain black socks that for some reason, were the best gift in my stocking this year… but it’s time to spruce it up! I hope Mom doesn’t mind! And, we’ve all seen holiday socks, but how many of us have seen holiday slippers? Holiday slippers are going to be the trend next winter, so don’t say I didn’t tell you!

Take Two – Here are the scraps to my sweater, a slipper untouched and a slipper in its final stage of holiday cheer (goodbye balls!), as well as my lovely new holiday socks! What I learned during this stage… never underestimate what pins can do when sewing by hand becomes a hassle!

After – Take a look at my amazing new holiday socks and slippers!
