I found a sweater and a dress at the thrift store that happened to match wonderfully. The only problem was that the sweater was a long sleeved pullover. So, I cut off the bottom half, cut off enough of the sleeves to make short sleeves, and cut up the middle to make it an open front/cardigan/shrug. I used your zig zag technique which turned out so cute! I also cut small slits all around the neckline and threaded some narrow ribbon through. <br /><br />Thank you so much for your tutorials and ideas. I wouldn't have ever thought to do this with Anna at Pleasant View Schoolhouse. :-)Ana Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02940971774891113696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-58189303719639294352009-11-13T00:59:42.503-06:002009-11-13T00:59:42.503-06:00Wonderful, I wish I had your talents!

Very inspirational, your blog. <br /><br />Would you share your method of making dresses? Does it take you long to make one? <br /><br />Cheers!pinelopikappahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05752237225626571922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-12547456509137179162009-11-12T13:55:20.046-06:002009-11-12T13:55:20.046-06:00Very cute!Very cute!Lisateresanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-15268096962908704672009-11-12T13:49:36.250-06:002009-11-12T13:49:36.250-06:00Great ideas.

Yeah for redeeming the merino - since it doesn't felt very well, your fix is the best idea! Have you gotten on to felting thrifted wool sweaters yet?

I like the stitched in ribbon.
