What a great idea- except I don't have a Christmas jumper and I don't want to fork out ££ buying one for one day. I wouldn't wear it again so would be a complete waste.
I decided I would make a Christmas jumper using one of my existing jumpers in the wardrobe and some scrap material from the stash. Here's what I did;
I cut out and pinned on 2 circles to be a snowman head and body. I appliqued them on using a large zigzag stitch on my machine.
I then made a hat and scarf from other scraps and sewed them on using the same method.
And here we have a finished frugal Christmas jumper.
I'm planning on removing my snowman after Friday so that it will be just a normal black jumper again. Not a penny spent!
Brilliant - why buy a jumper that you will never wear again. Very innovative.

DeleteMy work is having a christmas jumper day too and i was wondering what to do since I dont have one, then I remembered i'll not be there - maternity leave lol great idea tho and especially since you can take it off again!

pps and i hope you dont think this cheeky but would you consider removing the word verification on your comments, its sooo frustrating lol I dont have it and i only get 1 spam every 2-3 months xx
Haha one way to dodge the dodgy jumper wearing! Lol how are you getting on?
DeleteI didn't realise I had that annoying verification thing on here- bear with me i'm ICT challeneged I will try and locate then remove- I absolutely hate doing them, I always type them in wrong!
