No-Sew Lightweight Cardigan

It's difficult to believe that just the other day I was so cold, I decided to make a quick little sweater. But it's true and I have the cardigan to prove it. I started with an old tee shirt that I had only worn once due to the way it fit. Loved the pattern on it, but, well you know how it is sometimes... Anyway, since the tee shirt matched the outfit I was wearing,

so onto the cutting table it went. This is where I often hesitate and have to remind myself that it wasn't getting worn anyway, so I have nothing to lose.

Down the center front went my trusty scissors, and the transformation was halfway done. No turning back now.

Next, I chopped off the neck band.

And voila! My new, 3/4 sleeve closet basic was born. I later decided to cut off the "lapels" seen here, but altogether this little number took me about 5 minutes to create. Looks great with my little black sundress, too. Love it when a plan comes together.
