It’s sweater season! Except not really for me. But I can pretend and hold off until Thanksgiving when I go to winter in Utah! (Only two more years here…) So take out a dumpy old cardigan, grab a roll of wide lace from a craft store (they sell them in the ribbon and trim section) and snazz it up!

| Here’s my dumpy old cardi. |
 |
| There was this stiff edge on the lace that I cut off so the lace could lie flat. The I pinned it as shown above, stopping at the shoulder. |
 |
| I folded the cut edge under and sewed along the fold. After that, I sewed down the scalloped side as well because it was looking weird from the side. |
 |
| It needed a little further embellishment, so I folded the lace in half and twisted into some roses. I also used that stiff edge I cut off before and just rolled it up. Then I hot glued the arrangement onto some white felt and trimmed it down. |
 |
| All done! |
 |
| How corny is this picture?! |
I have a couple more craft projects that take less than half an hour…the best kind of projects! Oh and get ready for the Sew-Along! I was blown away by your responses so we are for sure going to do some great beginner projects!
