Ribbon Front Cardigan
December 9, 2010 9:31 amA lot of you asked about the girl’s sweaters from the Christmas Ruffle Skirt. I didn’t make any of them but I updated this one.
Here’s how: I sued this plain cardigan from Target that was on sale for $5.
Get some satin fabric or just satin ribbon. I got a piece and sewed it together on one side then turned it right side out. Make it double the length you want to border.
Press it flat and pin it around the border of the cardigan in little folds.
Pin it the entire way around.
Then just sew it down the center. Now you have a slightly fancier little cardigan!
I had a little leftover so I made a little bow for this cardigan, too. I just set it on pins so it can be removed for washing.

I love this! I might use this idea on one of my own sweater since I don’t have a little girl to make one for!
