I'm not much of a rule breaker really, in fact, I quite like being told what to do.
I got a reminder from the lovely Eddie to see if I was able to post a refashion, and somehow, between grief, work, raising a family, life, you know ... I didn't have one. Well, I did, but I never got around to posting it until today when I got a second gentle reminder (and felt very much like a naughty school girl) from Portia.
So here, as promised, and somewhat late, is my little Cardigan Salvage Refashion.
Take one lovely little cardigan:
Stain the shoulder in an Acrylic Paint and Prosecco related incident (painting corks, and drinking; blogged about here):
Buy a copy of Mollie Makes, Issue 2 ... BRILLIANT British craft magazine, also available overseas!
Make the cover kit, a beautiful felt flower:
Then use said flower to cover the stain, corsage style:
Not rocket science. Not brain surgery either. But it served to give purpose to the magazine cover kit, and saved my cute cardi from certain death. Teamed with my turquoise killer heeled slingbacks, it looks F A B. Shame I don't have a pic of that for you.

I love the flower and how you used it. Great color combo too.
Digging the teal flower. But what's up with the sleeves? Are they coming unraveled, or am I just looking at it wrong?

Looks really cute. Although you had a very conveniently-placed pint splash...! How can I salvage a top with a mark on the ribcage area? Anyone got any ideas? A corsage isn't gonna work there...

Jillian, they are frilly, but knitted, and it is a poor photo of the sleeves.
And Bryony, I certainly go lucky with where I threw the red acrylic covered cork, who'd have thought I would conveniently stain my shoulder eh?
