Take a long sleeved T-shirt and create a cardigan!
By The Style Sisters - Thursday, August 13, 2009
I found this idea on the Angry Chicken blog and thought I would try it out. Turning a simple long sleeved T-shirt in to a cardigan. 
First you take your T-shirt and mark the center and cut down the entire length of the T-shirt to create a cardigan. I did not turn the edges or sew them. Simple or what!
Then I cut off some of the sleeves to make a 3/4 sleeve...about 6 or 7 seven inches..I did not turn up the fabric or sew this edge either.
I then used the left over fabric from the sleeves to make a flower on my cardigan attached it with a black button.
Pretty darn cute and very green.

This is too cool! I have been looking all over for a yellow cardigan and haven't been able to find one, so I might have to try this! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat is really cute! I will have to rethink my giveaway shirts before letting them go. I like the fact that you didn't finish off those edges.
