Sweetheart Sweater

I've been saving this sweater for just the right refashion and just a week ago I was struck with the most amazing idea to fix it!!! It was a super simple idea, and one I'm sure I've seen around and simply didn't put two and two together on...but hey, at least it came to me eventually ;) AND just in time for Valentine's day! You'll see why that's relevant...

Here's what I started with. A flesh tone wool cardigan (J.Crew) with the most lovely little buttons that I thrifted sometime last year (ish).

It had some holes needing to be mended, and once mended, camouflaged! Nothing a little stabilizer, embroidery floss and needle can't fix ;).

Here's a look at the before and after:

Hope this helps you see the potential in some of your clothes that start to go holey...there is hope for them yet! Or for a boring sweater or cardigan that could use a little pop!

Peace,
Andrea
