embellished cardigan DIY

Friday I found this plain cardigan set in the seminary thrift store (for free!). Its from The Limited, but was kind of boring, so I decided to DIY an embellished cardigan.

Before:


After:


I was going to add some more lace down the front, but it was starting to venture into grandma-land with that much lace. I think just this little bit added makes it more unique.

  2. thanks! i got the lace from this lace tablecloth i found at the seminary thriftstore, and I just hand-stitched it on. I'm not very good with a sewing machine (yet) but i love hand-sewing! this was Really easy to make, you should give it a shot =)
