Description

I took an old sweater I didn’t wear anymore {everything seems to be too short for my tastes now…} and cut it up the middle. Added single fold bias tape to the finish the edges and a chiffon flower pin.

Material Notes

Cotton sweater, single fold bias tape

    The little button detail on the shoulder is so cute on a cardigan. Love the flower!

      Best refashion I’ve ever done. Wearing a navy turtleneck I did in the same way today :) Love it.

    this is great- you did a beautiful job. i’ve had a lovely but much too short sweater sitting in my closet for about a year now…i am absolutely taking a cue from this project and making it wearable once more!

      Would love to see your results if you do! :) Let me know if anything in the instructions aren’t clear. That was my first time adding a How To here.
