There was an old cardigan lying in my wardrobe , which was old and I didn't wanted to give it away for some sentimental reasons . An idea came to my mind to renew this old sweater which inspired me to do this tutorial.
1. I love flowers especially on woolens , so I searched for something to make flowers out of, in the material lying around at home, and I found a left over piece of a lace in my drawer.So I made flowers out of the lace.
2. Then I found old buttons and sewed them to center of flowers .Made four flowers with 6 petals each.
3.After this I changed the buttons of the old cardigan.
4.Then I bought a bottle of white fabric color.Since the cardigan I had was plain and grey in color , I decide to add a little zing to it by adding small polka dots on its sleeves and on the bottom part of the sweater.
5.Next I sewed all the flowers to the sweater in a vertical manners, as if they were hanging from a branch.
6.To add little sparkle I added some crystals and stones around the flowers .I kept the color combination of the sweater , white and grey , to make it look elegant.
7.The cardigan looks new and is ready to wear.
loved the creation of flowers from lace........it really look great
