Hi Everyone,
I had such fun with the last sweater refashion that I had to do another. The biggest problem with this refashion was that I accidentally trashed my picture of the BEFORE and I was already too far into the refashion to go back. Check out the transformation and the final product below.
At this point you can still see the BEFORE. It was a never worn, 100% cotton sweater that cost me $4.99 from Goodwill. It had long sleeves, a button front, and a fold over lapel collar. Very boring!
I wanted to make it into shaped cardigan with a scalloped edge and 3/4 sleeves.
So, I purchased some cotton lace in a matching color and applied it to the sweater with a chain stitch. Once the lace was set, I used the serger to take off the excess and crocheted down the raw edges from the inside to give it a finished look inside and out. I also shaped the side seams to fit using the same technique.
Here it is before I cut off the sleeves.
Here it is finished! I am really happy with the way it turned out and I am ready for more...
I would love to hear your comments.
Happy Refashioning!
