I found the sweet peachy pink cardigan at The Gap
and loved the color, fit and length.
By now, my readers would know I can't seem to
just leave it as it was created.
I have several lengths of beautiful vintage laces
needing to come out of hiding and be shown off.
They seem the perfect embellishment.
I layer them and then
they are easily hand sewn on to the sweater.
Then feeling it needs a bit more,
I pull out the treasured vintage button collection
and pour it out on the table looking
for just the right lovelies to create a button bouquet.
The magic mesh comes in handy for laying out the gems
and then sewing them into place.
I cut away the extra mesh and add a magnet to attach it with,
so the fabric will not be damaged by the weight of the pin.
Fortunately I have the perfect vintage crochet top
that works beautifully as a camisole underneath.
I'm loving the happy spring colors being shown this season!
