Don’t you just love cashmere? I do! Finding cashmere sweaters at the thrift shop is easy. I have a whole pile of them! Gigi needed a comfy sweater to wear over the dress I made her, and I didn’t want to spend a fortune so I cut up some of the thrifted sweaters in my stash to create her little cashmere sweaters. Below is my tutorial on how to make your own.
Sew together the sleeves and side seams with a zig zag stitch. |
This is the sewn together sweater. Now I needed to finish the edges of the front and the neckline. |
I made some bias tape and pinned it on. The bias tape needed to be sewn on by hand . The machine stretches the edge out too much. |
Here is Gigi in her new sweater. I sewed on a pretty bird applique and wooden button. Doesn’t she look cozy? |
Lovely sweater!!, she looks cozy and adorable…
What kind of machine do you use? I am getting one and before I make my choice I am trying to research
Thnks
Gorgeous!
