Tied duster-style cardigan a la Grosgrain Fabulous. If you want to recreate, her tutorial is great, but I recommend stay-taping the edges before sewing any trim on. While mine stretched out to form a lovely soft collar, that was pure luck.

A copped cardigan from a crew neck sweater! Keep checking for info on how I used the rest of the sweater ;)
Yes indeed, it's polka dots. And my first attempt at adding on a peter pan collar (which needs to be ironed).
Make a sweatshirt into a cardigan! It's super cozy.
And missing a few buttons -- when I dig them up, I'll add them. But I rather like the little "v" formed without them...
Large sweater = sweater tunic dress. I took it in, and replaced some weird rainbow stuff in the channels with cream ribbon
And bows :)
Embellished blazer (I love cream and black!)
I found this puffball piping. And love it. I made the brooch out of leftover lace and button.

I love Target's cardigans, but they usually need something like grosgrain ribbon to reinforce the fabric behind the buttons or they pull. Fine by me if that means I get a bit of color.
All sweaters were thrifted, except the sweatshirt (Wal-Mart) and two cardigans at the end (Target)
Gold Star to those who love realizing they've been far more productive than they thought.
