Update an old sweater to reflect the quilting trend for fall
I've never made a quilt in my life, but I'm beyond infatuated with the quilted trend floating into fashion pieces these days (and if Rachel Zoe says quilting is cool, who am I to argue?) For those of us who can't afford a Chanel bag, we have to create our own alternative, no? Up-cycling a sweater with dimensional quilting is a great way to transform an old piece with a new trend. Sign me up for the quilting circle.

Step 1Cut 2-3 inch circles. I used close to 60.
-
Step 2Beginning at center front, tack circles to top so folded edges alternate in direction.
-
Step 3One row at a time, pin circles on each side to keep in place.
Attach circles to top by stitching down center of row. -
Step 4Repeat for remaining rows.
-
Step 5Top-stitch crosswise over all rows to finish quilting.
-
Step 6Done.
-
Step 7Make a statement.
