Sewing tutorial that made me laugh so hard I had tears coming out of my eyes…

Tonight as I was perusing recent Facebook posts, I noticed that an acquaintance of mine posted a link to an on-line sewing tutorial. This is a woman who is married to one of my husband’s former colleagues, so I don’t know her all that well, but I didn’t think that she was into sewing. I had to check what she had posted.
The tutorial that she posted provided instructions on how to make “swants” – pants from old sweaters. It had detailed instructions re: what type of sweater to choose, how to cut it apart and then piece it back together to create a pair of crazily patterned but toasty warm sweater-pants or swants.
To be honest with you – as I started to read it – I was actually thinking that maybe I should try making some. They sure looked cozy. But then as the pictures got more and more ridiculous I realized that as much as I am all for repurposing clothing – I would not be caught dead wearing a pair of swants.
While the swants models try very hard to sell the concept via pictures… I just don’t think this is a look most of us can pull off. But maybe for a kid?? Anyway – if you are looking for a laugh – check out the pictures and accompanying video in the swants tutorial. I laughed os hard I nearly wet my pants.
