DIY: Sweater to Cardigan

(Currently packing for my screen writing retreat. Which means I will be MIA for about a week. I will try to update the tumblr and twitter. In the mean time....)

I got a request in my ask box on tumblr:

(The sweater they are talking about is here) So of course I had to do a DIY. Here it is done twice.

1. thermal sweater 2. turtle neck

2 ways to cut the sweater:

1. cutting a long a straight edge 2. folding in half & cut

2 ways to jazz it up:

1. sew on some buttons 2. with a turtle neck: make a collar

now wear and enjoy

Both sweaters were found at Salvation Army. The thermal was $4.50 and the floral one was $2.85

another time

Most people think the time they are living in isn't good/cool enough. That they wish they could live in another decade. I am one of those people. So besides Chicago during the 1920's I think I would of loved the late 50's early 60's.

Maybe it's because I am obsessed with Mad Men (or the fashion...)

breakfast joint.

I have many many many jobs. Four to be exact. And one of them is a waitress at a breakfast joint. It's a lot of fun actually. I love my co-workers, free food, the regulars are really down to earth. Sometimes it does feel like being on a sitcom.

It's a funky place. Usually, I don't really dress up for it because everything I wear gets dirty, but today I thought why not. It's the first day of spring. (But you wouldn't be able to tell by this Seattle weather...)
