Pompom Sweater

Before we go any further….is it “pom pom” or “pompom”? I am one of those people who literally cannot keep typing if one of those little red squiggly lines appears under my words signaling a misspelling. I seem to be able to get away with pom pom or pompom so I am curious which one is correct when referring to those cute little balls of fluff. For this post, I think I am going to stick with pompom because when I make pom pom plural, I get one of those red lines.

Okay, enough about spelling…let’s get to that cute sweater! It was time for me to pick out my daughter’s birthday outfit (I am assuming I only have a few more years of autonomy on this so I am going for it!). Our theme was 4ever Sweet, a party FULL of anything with sugar. Now, obviously she would probably be wearing plenty of the sweets by the end of the day, I still wanted to do something fun and in theme (AND that she would actually wear). So, as usual, I started scouring the internet. I came across a few photos of women who sewed pompoms on their sleeves and thought that was kind of neat! But how could I make this a fun birthday outfit? A tutu of course! My little princess ballerina LOVES her tutus and Amazon to the rescue. Another quick search and how cute is this skirt??

I then found the white sweater and dug through my craft supplies to put together her top.

Now, even if you are saying to yourself, “Lauren, come on…but you sew! I definitely don’t”….don’t quit yet! I promise this is easy! You need

A Needle
Scissors
Thread (color of sweater is ideal)
Pompoms

Thats it!

Okay, now, take your thread…cut about 18inches (no don’t bother measuring 😉 ). Thread your needle and tie the two ends together to make a little knot. Place your pompom where you want it, then starting from the inside of the sweater, push the needle through the sweater and the pompom.
