New Year, New Look for Sweater Dress

Happy New Year! Mostly because I'm stubborn, and like the idea of sweater dresses more than the look, sometime last year I bought this sweater dress from Goodwill. My best friend told me not to. I should have listened. The dress hung unworn in my closet, up until a few days ago.

I finally figured out how to make this dress wearable. I cut it open down the center front.

Then used some fabric from an out grown black velvet skirt of my sister's to finish the unfinished edges.

Some decorative stitches, a bit of elastic, a covered hook and eye, and I had a very wearable long cardigan!

Check out the whole process in my original blog post!

Happy New Year!
