the old long sleeved shirt into a cardigan trick

i've got one of those season's changing colds where you wake up with your throat feeling like its been rubbed with sandpaper all night... ugh.
and instead of resting so i don't get even more sick i made a sweater of course.

sweater!

so. easy.
take a long sleeved shirt that fits kinda funny but there's something about it you kinda like so you just can't seem to get rid of it. this one was baggy weird, so i never wore it, but i loved the color and fit of the sleeves.

pre-sweater

chop it up the center then add whatever the heck you want to make it trendy cute.
in this case another shirt cut into strips and gathered to make little ruffles.

mid-sweater

tada! brand new cardigan!
cost? a couple hours and glasses of orange juice ;]

sweater!
