A classic refashion

Several years ago my grandmother gave me this cashmere blouse. It had a very high and uncomfortably tight turtle neck. So I redid it to a boat neck. But I for some reason didn't wear it anymore now. Such a shame, since it is woooooonderfully soft, thin and warm. Something had to be done!

So I made it a V-neck cardigan instead (have you any idea how frightening it is to cut up something that expensive??! ;).
I added white satin bias tape to the edges.

It can be casual.

Or classic.

I feel you: I have a lovely lilac cashmere pullover in the refashion box (donation from my sister, who is a bit of a shopaholic) and every time I take it out for a look, I get nervous.

Thanks for the inspiration! I just gotta do it.
