DIY Elbow Patched Sweater

Hi sweethearts!!! :)

Of late I've been seeing a number of elbow patched knit tops/sweaters around and the first person that comes to my mind......

MR BEAN! :D

He's the only person I can think of with those patches on his sleeves where his elbows are at! HEHEH

And I AM GOING TO JOIN HIM! :)

These elbow patched sweaters usually sell outside for probably $30 or more and I was like thinking....

"Hey, I don't have to buy a new one, i can just DIY with my old plain sweaters!!!"

Total cost... almost free! :)

(Using the Casio Exilim EX-ZR100!

With its super fast shutter speed, camwhoring is made a whole lot easier!!!)

One look and you'll know what to do right? :)

You just need to know the basics of how to sew! it doesn't even have to be perfect and neat! ^~^

All you really need is:

1. SCISSORS

2. OVAL SHAPED CLOTH PATCHES (you can cut out from the old clothes which you don't want anymore)

3. SEWING MATERIALS

4. PLAIN KNITTED TOP like the one from my latest giveaway

+++++

It kind of seems like brown (dark/light) patches are the most common for the elbow patches!

I've found some other color combinations for you to try out on your old sweaters! :)
