What To Do When the Dryer Eats Your Sweater…..Cardigan Revamp!

What do you get when you take an awesome t-shirt weight Old Navy cardigan

and mix it with an awesomely bad apartment dryer?
drum roll please…
THIS GARBAGE!
I’ve only worn this sweater TWICE, so it certainly wasn’t worn out or ready to be tossed. And as mentioned before, I have ZERO fall clothing budget, so this little sweater needed to be saved.
Have no fear…..Batman Superman Super Grover MY SEWING MACHINE is here!
I had this awesome black lace in my stash o’ goodies that was perfecto for covering up the little love mark my drier left.
All I did was pin it on the sweater going down both sides.
Stitched it on going down both sides, top and bottom of the lace.
And VOILA!
Ruined cardigan no more! I’m so happy I could save my sweater and give it a little pop at the same time :)

    So happy to see another great link up at A Crafty Soiree from you! I lived for ages in a apartments and lost many a pretty sweater that way, wish I'd thought of this way to make it cute and wearable again.
