Stitching

For the last couple of years at the beginning of winter I have bought a cardi from the oppie with the idea of adding some bits and detailed stitching.

This is the first year I have actually managed to do it. 

A pocket on a pocket, I love pockets.

Stitching and buttons add a fun element.

New to Me

Take one grey cardi and a T shirt.

Cut the front off the cardi and stitch it to the back.

Now it has tails. 

Cut the T shirt into strips and sew around the edge of the cardi.

I liked the wrong side of the fabric and edge rolled back nicely.

I added detail with felt circles, fabric and buttons.

I cut the cuff off the cardi mainly because my arms are never that long and added some interest with felt.

You can never have too many cardis in winter.
