Welcome to my quest to refashion my wardrobe! My fourth Spring Sweater Refashion started off as a plain, green sweater from Target. It hung in my closet without much wear because it was so plain and I wasn’t sure what to wear with it. I decided to add some embellishments to one side of it, using some of my fabric scraps from my craft room. This is a 1.5 hour project, just because making … [Read more...]

Welcome to the next installment in my quest to refashion my wardrobe :) My third sweater refashion started off with a plain white cardigan from Target. Add a few chiffon flowers and you have a sweater refashion that is super easy, fast and requires no sewing machine. … [Read more...]

My second sweater refashion is a plain, black Target sweater that I bought last year. It was too plain. So I decided to embellish it a little. This refashion also uses a scarf. This is the problem -- I buy scarves because I think they are so adorable but then I never feel like I know how to wear them. Or I feel too self-conscious to wear them. So I also had this scarf that I had bought, also … [Read more...]

Last Thursday I went on Studio 5 and shared a bunch of sweater refashions. Now, let me preface this by saying that I have only been sewing for about a year. So these are really easy, straight-stitch kind of projects!! The first one I'd like to share is also one my favorites {I have 11 to share}. This is a kind of coral v-neck sweater with a blue and white nautical mix. I love … [Read more...]

I had so much fun making over my white sweater a few weeks ago, that I decided to do another - more colorful one. And while I was at it, I made one for two of my girls. We had fun picking out the material for the buttons and the big ric rac. I let them pick out the color of sweater (Walmart) too. Mine is from Target. {I was having a bad hair day} My 10 year old hasn't taken hers … [Read more...]
I had some leftover supplies from a few projects and decided to redo one of my Spring sweaters. I used some buttons covers from my Spring Ring Project, some fabric scraps from my Spring Burlap Wreath and some ric rac from a project that's being posted tomorrow. I hardly ever wore this sweater before because it was always kind of -- BLAH... So -- if you want a quick, easy way to add some … [Read more...]
Here's an $2 solution to update a blah sweater. I found this gathered ribbon at Hobby Lobby. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it at the time. First I placed the ribbon on the sweater and pinned it on. At the ends of the zig zags the ribbon folds UNDER and wraps down to the next row. I also let the ribbon overlap at the ends of the sweater, so when the cardigan is butoned, that ribbon … [Read more...]
Here's a fast and simple redo to update a top or sweater. I really liked this sweater, but it was a little boxy and I really prefer cardigans. So it sat in my closet, only worn a couple of times. This is a 30 minute project. Here's what you do: Take your sweater, find the center. Cut a straight line down the center. My top was a little wide, so I cut out a 2 inch section of fabric … [Read more...]
I was flipping through the Boden USA catalog last night. I don't think I had ever seen their clothes before. They have some really cute things -- but they are also very expensive! I saw this sweater. How cute for Fall. Then I saw the price tag -- $98. Seriously?? I loved the buttons and the stripes. I thought of all of the buttons jars that I have. Could I remake one of my old sweaters into … [Read more...]
