Cardigan Re-vamp

Alright so for this project I decided to take a shirt that I never wore and use it to upgrade something I wear all the time. The shirt had a super cute lacy(?) crocheted(?) back that I adored, but the actual shirt just didn't look good on me and I was going to get rid of it anyway.

First step was to cut out the back of the shirt.
See? Super cute! :)

Here's the cardigan that I'm going to attach it to


Flip it over

And lay the lace down in place. 
Make sure to line up the top strap parts with the shoulder seam.

Now we start sewing! :) 
Sew across the top of the straps and around the outside only!

You should create a pocket like this.
Do not sew along the inside!

Now start cutting the cardigan where the lace lays

 Keep cutting!

And once you have it all cut out and pretty it's done! Yay!


I wore this to work the same day and got lots of compliments :)
Love how it turned out!

Thanks for looking! :)
