A cardigan with a new life.

Here is a cardigan i have breathed new life into with a sprinkling of ruffles, covered buttons and patch pockets. Its made my mind go into 'cardi overload' as i have a few made from 100% wool which i picked up in charity shops over the past months stashed away, i think i want to do some with peter pan collars.

What it did look like....

And now.....

I got the fabric at a Paris flea market some years ago. It came from a stall stacked high with vintage upholstery and curtain fabric.
Thanks for everyone who commented on my first posting it made me feel very welcome in blog land x

hi h.
love the blog and the stuff you've made recently - nice to be able to see your work despite being in the frozen north.
Really liking the covered buttons and fancy pockets, also the cushions (would love some for our front room...)
