I am the oldest of my siblings, which means I didn't get many hand-me-downs. Last month, however, my mom went through her closet and passed on this sweater.
Cute, right? I think so.
But I was in the mood to refashion, and wanted a cardigan instead. So, I chopped and sewed and this is what I came up with.
I cut the band off the bottom, shortened the bodice by 3 inches, and put the band back on the bottom.
I then used the fabric I cut out to make a binding for where the front pieces meet each other in the middle.
I finished it all off with a button and a loop.
I'm not sure which way I like it better, but if for nothing else, this was a good project to get me sewing again.

Turned out great! I’d love for you to link your adorable project to Things I’ve Made Thursdays. I’m trying something new this week- We have two sections to the party- one for kids’ things and one for “Anything”!! I think this post would be an awesome addition to the “Anything Goes” party!
Hope you’ll stop by on Thursday and link up!
