Step 1: Cut old shirt straight up the middle
Step 2: Try on your new cardigan
And voila! A new piece for my work attire was born. The ribbon finishes the front nicely, but t-shirt material doesn't fray even if it isn't edged. I thought about adding buttons, but never did and anyway, who needs 'em?
The night before our trip in the autumn, the idea struck once more. This one I made two sewing passes (a tight zig-zag stitch) about a 1/4-inch apart before getting out the scissors. Gives this cotton crew-neck a little bit of finish without much detail.
Next up: the short-sleeved summer cardigan. Perhaps with some stitching enhancements....
