Lately I feel like my craft projects have turned out a
little less craftacular that I hoped.
When I first saw THIS Kate Spade bow cardigan, I thought
– I can make that.
So I bought an Old Navy cardi and some ribbon and went to
work. Unfortunately, it turned out a bit awful.

Let me state a few facts:
·
This cardigan with the black trim was on sale –
so I bought it for the potential craft fail
·
Michael’s was having a sale on ribbon – this
meant that the larger size black ribbon was all gonesies
·
I did NOT glue the ribbons – I pinned them on,
so the cardi can be saved/re-done
My step by step instructions if you want to attempt this
·
Purchase supplies
Supplies:
·
Cardi:
$12.00 on sale at Old Navy
·
Ribbon:
$2.50ish at Michael’s
·
Used pins and sewing materials from craft box
·
TOTAL:
$14.50
·
Cut ribbon and test out some sizes of bows – the
size is used here was about 8 inches
·
Start making bows
·
Pin the bows to the cardi – don’t sew them first
so that you can get the spacing right
·
Sew the bows
Sew simple, right?! (pun intended).
Final Verdict: I’m going to skip the purchase and given
that I didn’t sew the bows, I think I’m going to take them off and just wear
the cardi plain.
