This is project that will
"save" an old and torn sweater,
by "destroying" it even more.
Ready?
In love with this Alexander McQueen sweater from last year, all you need is an old sweater (and if it has holes, really doesn't matter), and less than a yard of white/cream silk - which I had (I actually used an old and torn blouse).
Here the side-by-side final result... not bad, uh?
Just saved 1500 $

Unbelievable! Yours looks every bit as good as the original! But $1500??? do people actually pay that for a frayed woolly jumper??
