Sad story: Back in September I took a little trip to Utah for my baby sister's wedding. A dear friend of mine and I, spent an afternoon traipsing all over Salt Lake City (that's not the sad part). The sad part of the story is when I realized that I left my most beloved grey cardigan and have seemingly lost it forever. I seriously wore that thing ALL the time and now (sniff) I can't.
Happy story: While it will never replace my darling grey cardi, I decided to perk up and make a new one for myself out of a lovely mustard jersey T-shirt.
Watch it. Love it.
Yes....I am super dork!
Looks great! I need to do this.
ReplyDeleteLove it! You had me until you said button holes. :) Love the color.
ReplyDeleteSo cute, love the colour too. I'm a total sewing novice, how do you make button holes? I don't think I have a thing on my machine for it..
ReplyDeleteIt turned out awesome! I have a few t's that could use this...
ReplyDeleteGet out of here! I LOVE cardigans!! Awesome job, great color! I would love for you to come link up today over at Passionatelyperfect.com
ReplyDeleteHi there! I love this idea for a cardigan! Great job on the buttons :-) I haven't done those yet, so I'm inspired to get started. I featured you today on my blog :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy to be following you!
Sorry to hear about your missing {sniff} card but so happy you made a new one and we all can too!
ReplyDeleteYEAH!!!

That's awesome - now I know what I'm going to do with a long-sleeve shirt I never wear, but love the color of.
ReplyDeleteWow! I really really wish I knew how to sew, because I would make a ton of these for work! So cute.
ReplyDeleteOkay, the color is totally gorgeous on you. I'd be thrilled if you'd come and link this fabulousness up to the Head to Head Showdown, going on right now at www.icantstopcrafting.blogspot.com ~Jen
ReplyDeleteLove that pic! Thanks for linking this up to my Pity Party. Sad that you lost your favorite cardi- I would be lost without mine. :( But yay for making your own cute ones!
ReplyDeleteif you never button your cardi's you could just add the buttons for interest and don't worry about adding the button holes????
ReplyDeleteLove the card again! ~ Barbara
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda, this is Emily. 20 years ago I used to make cardigans from sweat shirts using various finishing trims from simple top stitching to lace. They took just a few minutes to do. I love your long sleeved t's/cardigans!
ReplyDeletewould this work with short sleeves tees??? does anyone know??
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool!
ReplyDeleteWould it work with short sleeves shirts too? I've got a whole lot of them!
Awesome job, great color!
