Super Quick and Easy DIY Vintage Cardigan Upcycle for less than $5!
Recently I was going through some of my cardigans and I thought it would be fun to do a quick and cheap little upcycle project. We all have clothes that just need a little style boost so they can be loved and worn again.
In today's video, I take an old Hell Bunny cardigan and show you how to attach some adorable floral appliques that give this cardigan a vintage inspired look and a new lease on life. Gotta love an easy and budget friendly DIY right?!

    Might be genuine deadstock? Design houses do sell off the remaining fabric after they're done with the run of making their garments. The bigger the name, the less likely they are to try to use everything up the way home sewists do.

    Ending is hilarious! 😂 My view on the fabric - fabric is fabric - designer brands are fabricated - you fabricated a beautiful garment out of a fabric with a fabricated logo - philosophically and ethically speaking - who cares! If you look and feel gorgeous, that's all that matters. Forward all legal claims to me, and I'll make them go away! 😊

    You are overthinking the fabric thing. I saw a gorgeous Carolina Herrera dress. I fell in love with it. I found the designer fabric at Mood on line and bought it - wish I had bought more. I used a McCalls pattern similar to the $3k dress and made it. I was so happy and it cost me $72 in fabric instead of $3k.

    7:31 I haven't tried it myself, yet, but there is a method of gathering without a gathering foot where you put the tension all the way tight and the length of the stitch as long as you can, and it apparently causes a ruffle. I'm sure you can probably find someone someone in UA-cam who can explain it better than I do but I am definitely gonna try it next time I am making a skirt!

And thank goodness because I'm still a total newbie and appreciated having the pieces and instructions. For me personally, having only really made a pillow case and a tote bag, this was an intimidating but doable project. I had tried V9075 before this but only got as far as the mockup and decided I didn't like doing sleeves just yet, lol, so V9100 ended up being the perfect project! I really appreciated getting to watch this video before starting in, and watching it again now that I'm almost done (months later because... procrastination 😉) I think I _may_ be brave enough to follow your method with the lining and straps for dress number two, but we'll see haha.

    The dress is pretty. I think you'd like it better if you hadn't gathered the ruffle part at the top. Think if it would have been cut in a way like a circle skirt you probably would have loved it. I know you could've because the ruffle direction prevented you to cut it that way.
