KCW: upcycled aster cardi with a sequin collar

upcycled aster cardi with a sequin collar

I’ve been wanting to do a sequin collar on SOMETHING for ages…so I finally got my act together and added one to this upcycled cardi.

I thrifted this Lands End tee and flirted with making another dress….

I love finding L.E. tees in great shape because the fabric is superb…this one had one teeny bleach spot that I was able to cut around!

…anyways, I decided not to waste the long sleeves of the tee and grabbed my Aster cardi pattern and got sewing!

Then I decided the sequin collar had to happen, and I’m so glad it did. I used a little bit of the stuff leftover from when I made Sadie’s STYLO skirt.

I backed it in some gold-ish linen which worked perfectly!

a couple of tiny white buttons completed the cardigan-I cut the sleeves a bit long but it’ll just fit longer, right?

I kinda really truly love this one.

(which you can always take to mean: I want one in my size)
