20 minute refashion

I have a seemingly endless supply of cardigans. While I do like them - they are the staple of my wardrobe - they do get boring. Hence, another refashion.

This time, I started with an old pink cardy. This particular one was a hand-me-down from my mother. She grew tired of it, passed it along, and now I'm tired of it too. But, its still in good shape and a shame to get rid of.

So . . .

I started with the boxy/boring cardy. 20 minutes later, and a little shirring:

Tada! I nice, ruffled look.
I promise it fits better around the boob area - its just that I'm moving my arm really far out of the way to take my self-portrait.
