I'm not usually inclined to wear jumpers (I don't find them very flattering for my body type) but when I found this lovely vintage 100% cashmere jumper for $3 in a tiny Hastings op shop, I just couldn't leave it behind.
I originally thought I'd just embroider all over the front of it, but impatience and common sense got the better of me ~~ because I'd REALLY never wear a jumper unless it has a hood attached! After a bit of brainstorming, a bit of snipping, some sewing and some trimming, I've got myself a cute new cardigan! Because a girl can never have to many Cardi's.
(terrible dark photo sorry, the weather is just not co-operating today!!)
yep. successful projects = happy Kristin!
That is so gorgeous! I want!!! Definately going to look out for something with the potential for this restyle next time I'm at the oppy!! x

For some reason I can't see the first photo properly (dont worry, I think its my own fault) so I can't see what you transformed - but the cardi looks AMAZING. Did you put the lace trim on it and everything? Talent!!

Well done! This looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThat is fantastic Kristen...you look so beautiful in the pics too...nice to see a close up shot! I scored an awesome mossy green Italian merion turtle neck with button cuffs that someone has shrunk. I'm gunna whip it into a cardy for Anya, well eventually...hopefully before Summer! lol xx
ReplyDeleteP.S my verification word is Diked? WT? lol
ah this looks amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! A cardi can be so much more practical than a jumper too. Love the pretty lace detail. Nice blog :)
