I found a bunch of nice old sweaters at the Goodwill yesterday but didn't buy them as I wasn't sure how to pull off the blanket making and thought I should figure that out first. Did you sew yours together on the sewing machine, and did you tack the backing to the front in any way? <BR/>Many thanks,<BR/>GeorgannaGigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14709314864693421679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115356.post-54589781357259061742008-01-04T00:35:00.000-05:002008-01-04T00:35:00.000-05:00That is the best idea everThat is the best idea evermormarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15146156159783798035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115356.post-91658372090966072912007-12-12T14:02:00.000-05:002007-12-12T14:02:00.000-05:00absolutely love this. i have saved sweaters for pi...absolutely love this. i have saved sweaters for pillows before but never thought of making an afghan. what a wonderful idea.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00268242308315862551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115356.post-51681680548062321402007-12-11T20:16:00.000-05:002007-12-11T20:16:00.000-05:00I know a couple people have asked, but did you do ...I know a couple people have asked, but did you do anything special to sew them together? did they stretch much when you did sew them together?
