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.

Pretty darn cute and very green.

    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.

    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!
