It’s Poncho Time: Upcycled Sweater Project

It’s poncho time. Keep your little girls toasty warm this winter season with a poncho.  Whether your little girl or toddler is at play, at school, or just hanging out in the house, a poncho is a great lightweight covering that is not too bulky or constricting.

These ponchos are super easy to make using upcycled sweaters and fleece of all kinds.

Dress it up with a soft flower made of fleece, decorative trims, or other fun embellishments.

I put a few of my felted wool sweater balls on this one.

Mix and match colors to create a one-of-kind, whimsy, fun, playful poncho she will love wearing.

The neck binding is easy to sew and made with cozy fleece that fits comfortably and easily over the head.

Just think of all the different color combinations and fun contrasting neck bindings you can create.
