Here’s a couple of insanely quick fixes for those old moth-eaten sweaters hibernating at the bottom of your stash…
I snagged this ‘designer’ sweater on Winterschlussverkauf (super winter sale) for a mere €0.50…
I figured it would be a snap to repair the rips in the neckline & as it already had an awesome leather-zip…
my refashionista brain kicked into gear & I grabbed some leather bits from my stash
& chopped ‘em into a bunch of triangular shapes…
then stitched some around the neckline…
and added a few more
giving perfect mended-hole-coverage + a groovy new neckline!
I saved my father-in-law’s old wool sweater from the bin, washed it in hot to shrink it to fit me, stitched up the remaining moth-bites & added a couple of fancy schmancy quilting patches for purty pockets…
And there you have it - 2 delightfully easy yet fabulously fantastic cardi fixes!
