Anthro Cardigan Knockoff

I love to browse Anthropologie’s site for inspiration, especcially on cardigans.  They have some super cute stuff on there!  I fell in love with the Stretching Sprigs Cardigan, and I had to make one for myself!

I had a purple cardigan that I’d gotten for Christmas and hadn’t worn much because it was a bit big on me.  I slimmed the sides down by sewing a seam on the inside of the sweater from the armhole down to the hem in a curved line.  Once it fit good, I used some of the simple embroidery techniques my mother in law taught me to embellish the front.

This is what I came up with.  It’s not as bold as the anthropologie one, but I was very self conscious of even trying this technique!  I ended up really liking it once I wore it a few times.

Here’s a better shot of both sides of the cardigan.  I have lots more t-shirt refashions to share…like 10 to be exact.  I will try to fit in a bit of variety, but let’s face it…I love refashioning and making old clothes new again!

See you tomorrow!
