When I saw Anna’s cardigan at IHOD, I knew I had a DIY project to fulfill! It’s probably no coincidence that she was having a Katniss Everdeen moment which is all the rave in my mind because I just finished the Hunger Games. I took to the $.99 clothing sale at Goodwill to find the perfect sweater. One that would not be missed should I completely botch the poor threads. I think my attempt was promising. I like this sweater well enough, but I definitely have a few cardigans that need a little flare. I picked up the elbow pattern from Martha Stewart, but next time I’ll make the patches a little smaller.
Now I’m going to take my new sweater to the streets and see how it fares. I haven't seen any elbow patches roaming the streets of Carmel, so we shall see.
This is so cute!!! I am a HUGE fan of the elbow pads!!! I have a sweater or two with them on, and I'll buy anything for Tucker that has them, too!!! SO cute!!!
ReplyDeletei absolutely love this idea! my boyfriend is an instructor at a university and i really want all of his sweaters to have elbow patches. also, carmel's goodwill is pretty incredible! i'll have to make a trip soon :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Hannah! Now you got me thinking of getting a sweater from my college alma mater and adding some elbow patches!
