Vintage button cardigan

Today I wanted to share my latest craft project. I’ve had this one in mind for quite some time. Part of what was holding me back was finding the perfect cardigan, which I finally did a couple of weeks ago. Just in time for fall too. I first posted about this project back in February. At the time, I thought I would use an old black cardi I already had, but I didn’t “love” the cardigan to begin with and didn’t want to take the time to spice it up, if I wasn’t going to wear it a ton. I still might embellish the black cardi, but for now I’m loving this grey one.

I have a pile of vintage buttons that were my grandmothers and I picked out my favs to stitch onto the front. Just can’t decide whether or not to add more. I kinda like the simplicity of this look, plus I already added some further embellishment on the elbows (which I’ll share with you tomorrow). For now, I’m calling it done. This is definitely my “button collector” sweater.

    1. I found this one at Forever 21 at Cross Iron Mills. Really wish I’d picked up another one. They were inexpensive , but not too many colour choices. My last fav cardi was from H&M several years ago, but they haven’t ever had that same style in again.
