I decided to cut up my hoodie with 3/4 length sleeves into a vest.
It's far prettier now, in my opinion. And I have some cute legwarmers made from the sleeves! I took a piece of scrap fabric, and tied it around the back with a knot on the inside to make it a razorback, but you can't really see it in the pictures. It's hard to take a picture of your own back : )
