What a fantastic use of a jumper. I often find that I like the colours & fabrics of jumpers, but cardigans can look so frumpy when you get to a certain age. What did you use to bind the cut edges?
It's just ribbon, ironed in half then sewn on (is it obvious I'm a novice? haha!) then added a hook and eye fastening to do it up. It's held ok so far!

Add dimension and sparkle to sheer garments with this petal embroidery technique from fashion expert Mariana Leung. Inspired by Wicked and runway couture, this simple-to-sew look provides high impact.
