Only on a rare occasion will you hear me call a cardigan a “cardi” I think it sounds a bit odd. But anyway, I love cardigans.
I’m more likely to be found wearing a cardigan sweater instead of a traditional sweater like my light pink sweater… that may or may not have been purchased in the girls’ department several years ago.
If it’s a size large in my closet… it came from the girls’ department
I liked the pinkish, peach of the sweater, the pearl details and its soft look but I didn’t really wear it very much because I’m not a fan of pulling static-inducing sweaters over my head.
I love the dainty detail
I measured and cut straight down the middle of the front. Sewed the edges and affixed a little ribbon tie. Now I have a cute little “cardi.”
Much better
Do you refashion any of your clothing?
Love this idea! Perfect for my sweater that shrunk. Thanks for the idea!
Great plan to refashion something that’s shrunk! As I get more into altering my own clothes, I’m finding that I can rescue some things that have been damaged or stained as well as make something that I rarely wore into something that I love.
Good luck with your refashion!
That sweater turned out really cute. Great idea! and no, I don’t refashion my clothes. Lacking in creativity in that area.
You are so creative!! 🙂
Wow, that is so awesome!! I would’ve been afraid it would unravel – but obviously you knew just how to prevent that.
I was a little bit concerned about unraveling, but it was a pretty tight knit, so as soon as I made the slice down the middle, I rolled and pinned the edges under and stitched a hem. I don’t think I would do this with anything very open-knit.
