Spring Sweater Refashion 2011 {#3}

  Welcome to the next installment in my quest to refashion my wardrobe :)

My third sweater refashion started off with a plain white cardigan from Target. 

Add a few chiffon flowers and you have a sweater refashion that is super easy, fast and requires no sewing machine. 

To make this easy sweater refashion, all you need is: 

•  Chiffon fabric for the flowers.


• a Candle


• Buttons


• Needle and Thread


• Fabric Glue {optional}

• Take your chiffon fabric and cut out four different sizes of circles.  I cut mine out as a 3 inch, 2 inch, 1.5 inch and 1 inch circles. You can use a circle template if you want a perfect circle.

• Light a candle and burn the edges of the circles. Rotate the material slowly all the way around each circle. 

• Once the circle edges are burned, lay the circles on the sweater in the place you want them. I arranged the circles 2-3 circles per flower. 

• Then pin the flowers on the sweater. 

• Now sew the buttons in the circle of each flower. 

• The last thing to do is put a circle of fabric glue under some the edges where the flowers are droopy. Or you can put a quick stitch through the material.

Voila -- you are done!! 

{total project time = 30 minutes}

Now you have a sweater with some personality!! 

I added the flowers around the back for a little fun. 

Now - go find some old sweaters and create make some new creations!!!!
