Take a long sleeved T-shirt and create a cardigan!
I found this idea on the Angry Chicken blog and thought I would try it out. Turning a simple long sleeved T-shirt in to a cardigan. First you take your T-shirt and mark the center and cut down the entire length of the T-shirt to create a cardigan. I did not turn the edges or sew them. Simple or what!
Then I cut off some of the sleeves to make a 3/4 sleeve…about 6 or 7 seven inches..I did not turn up the fabric or sew this edge either.
I then used the left over fabric from the sleeves to make a flower on my cardigan attached it with a black button.
Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
You are something else, Karin! I love how you just jump right in and try new stuff all the time. Very cute idea.
That is so adorable and easy! I might just have to try it.
Wow that is so dang cute! If only I hadn't thrown away those old long sleeved shirts!
How cute is that? :)
Too cute!
And EASY! ;-)
This is a very cute idea!
That is really cute! I will have to rethink my giveaway shirts before letting them go. I like the fact that you didn't finish off those edges. Mary Lou
This is too cool! I have been looking all over for a yellow cardigan and haven't been able to find one, so I might have to try this! Thanks!
