Plain Shirt into Cardigan Tutorial

I have been dead to the world for a few days because I have been re-reading the last harry potter! Yes, I am a nerd, but we had to get ready for the new movie. SO. I finished the book and now have time to craft. I got a plain long sleeve boat neck shirt at old navy on clearance for $2.50. I thought for that price, I could come up with something to do with it. I decided to turn it into a cardigan. Here is what I did.

First I started with my plain t.

I folded the front in half so I knew where the middle would be and made a cut with my scissors

Here is what it looks like cut up the front

Then I found this great pre-ruffled trim stuff at jo-anns, so I decided that would be fun to add to one side. On the other side I just cut up a black t-shirt and made it be like bias tape and sewed it all the way on the other side.

Final Product! It's a fun little shirt. You could add any embellishments you wanted really. Just another fun idea of what to do with an old or cheap t.
