That grey plain cardi...
we all have one in the closet!
...Let's make it less plain :)
Pearls and chains will do the trick!

I saw the ads for this embellished cardigan from Twin-Set by Simona Barbieri
(it's an italian brand, pretty sure is almost unknown here in the U.S.)
and thought... I have {almost} everything I need!!
Obeying the pledge, I had all in my stash except for the velvet ribbon.
3 yards - 3$
Follow the easy step-by step pictures for the tutorial!
Just make sure to sew with very small stitches and secure the edges of the chains nicely tight, don't pull the edges of the cardigan while you're sewing or it will look all wobbly.
Don't rush it!
It took more time that I would thought.
Yes, a good two hours.
xox, d.
awesome :)

How clever is that?! A little bit of punk + a little bit of preppy. :)

I love this! And I think I could actually do it! Thanks for sharing this cool idea.
ReplyDeletewell, two hours to create this sound pretty reasonable to me...it's my potential 6 hours to do the job that make me freak....

I really like that! I am very much a minimalist when it comes to jewelry, and I've tried a couple bigger/flashier necklaces recently, but my hubby says it's not me. I wonder if the chains are sewn ON the clothes, if it would work?:)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the ideas.:)

What a great way to turn drab into fab! I love that you showed a pic of you (I guess it is you?) wearing it. It looks fabulous on!
ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteVery cool...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tutorial! I have a few button-down cardigans that fit perfectly, but they're quite boring. I may just give this a try.
ReplyDeleteLove it! This is just fantastic! Great wow factor! Thanks for sharing!
