Today I wanted to share my latest craft project. I’ve had this one in mind for quite some time. Part of what was holding me back was finding the perfect cardigan, which I finally did a couple of weeks ago. Just in time for fall too. I first posted about this project back in February. At the time, I thought I would use an old black cardi I already had, but I didn’t “love” the cardigan to begin with and didn’t want to take the time to spice it up, if I wasn’t going to wear it a ton. I still might embellish the black cardi, but for now I’m loving this grey one.
I have a pile of vintage buttons that were my grandmothers and I picked out my favs to stitch onto the front. Just can’t decide whether or not to add more. I kinda like the simplicity of this look, plus I already added some further embellishment on the elbows (which I’ll share with you tomorrow). For now, I’m calling it done. This is definitely my “button collector” sweater.
Love. Esp this simplicity!
Question: where did we find the perfect cardigan? I’m always on the hunt…
I found this one at Forever 21 at Cross Iron Mills. Really wish I’d picked up another one. They were inexpensive , but not too many colour choices. My last fav cardi was from H&M several years ago, but they haven’t ever had that same style in again.
