Cardigan makeover

So a few months ago i came across this cardigan (i think this is what it is) and i saw it for $0.99 at goodwill, I am such a girl that if i see a bargain i have to buy it!

tee hee…

Anyways i bought it and i later didn’t like it at all!

so what i decided to do was dress it up a little so i can love it and not have it sit in the closet all alone in there.

This is the Before:

And after:

Isn’t it cute?

all i did was follow this yo yo tutorial made three 4 inch and three 2 inch.

Then i pinned them in place and handstitched them, it took about 20 mins or so to have it all stitched.

Then i stitched my vintage buttons on there that i had.

I think i did a great job! haha!

this was really fun and added some nice texture and color to my cardigan!

Hope you enjoyed this post!
