Easy Peasy Sweater Recon

As I was getting dressed this morning, I thought "a yellow cardigan would go perfectly with this outfit." Unfortunately, I don't have one. Then, an old yellow pullover caught my eye. I used to love this sweater, but I haven't worn it since I spilled soy sauce down the front (I'd like to say that I'd had too much sake, but honestly, I spill stuff on myself all the time). It has probably been over a year since I last wore it. I grabbed it, did some quick alterations, and threw it on to run errands with Nate. I love getting new clothes that aren't actually new at all!

This is how I did it:

Start with a sweater that has seen better days.

Chop up the center.

Grab some bias tape.

Stitch that sucka!

Strategically cover soy sauce stains with doilies; add button to neckline.

Done! Wear your new sweater to the mall, where you will discover that a West Elm sofa you've been coveting for years is on massive, ridiculous sale. Order said sofa, go home and sit on your old ugly sofa with a big smile on your face.
All in all, it was a very successful day!
