I'm managing to REinvent for myself during this hiatus from workshops.
Being that winter will eventually arrive, my focus has been knitwear.
This Cardet (cardigan x jacket)
was created by combining three Jumpers & an embroidered wool Vest.
I used a slightly felted older childs jumper in the front
and had fun playing with combining colours from other jumpers I had filed,
including a daggy wool Vest with gorgeous hand embroidery.
I always like the back of a garment to compliment the front.
Even though I had the best of intentions, this also turned out to be an exercise in
why I don't do before & after shots.
Out of the 5 garments I anticipated using I only used 3
and ended up including a 4th not thought of at the time I took the picture.
In between domestic goddess duties & bias binding making
I'll endeavor to share more of my REinventions
and being that they're more likely than not going to be knitwear orientated
I'd also like to share some tips for using knitwear in your REinventions...if anyone's interested.
Just had a thought...
what if we turn this into a Q&A....
go ahead and ask all and as many questions as you like
and I'll do a specific post on
How to REinvent your Knits.
That is fantastic - love it!
ReplyDeleteI am so very excited to be joining in your next workshops so I can have some fun creating something equally as beautiful as your new cardet! x
ReplyDeleteThat's absolutely stunning!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the Cardet, it all goes together beautifully. I would love to know how you manage to pull them apart and how you put it all together again. x
ReplyDeleteSo clever Jody............love the color combination.
ReplyDeleteHow do you stop the knitted sections from fraying?
This looks interesting - I love the new garment.
ReplyDeleteI's inspired to have a play.
Thanks for sharing.
Oh, I'm loving this carpet! I want to run out and find some woollies to make one right now!
