How to fix a hole in a sweater....

I have this sweater that I love... everyone needs a white cardigan. It can go over any tank top or shirt, it's like an accessory!


Unfortunately mine had a few holes in the back... I still wore it sometimes...don't judge me!


I wasn't sure what to do with it until I saw Kim's blog called "a girl and a glue gun". Kim is a genius, check out all the things she can do! In this post she revamped her daughters sweater instead of buying a new one...hello budgeting! 

So I followed her instructions and used an old shirt that I don't wear anymore...people keep asking me if I'm pregnant when I wear it! Hello... way to make me feel fat! It's one that hugs the chest area and bows out...so I gave up on wearing this shirt all together.


cut a line of fabric, fold it over and cut almost a heart shape.  When you open it you get like an X.


Then I started where the hole was and started to sew an x stitch with each heart shaped flower I cut. 


Okay - now don't hate on my pic...it was midnight and I wasn't in the mood to take a picture!


And that's it... a nice little addition to a hole filled cardigan! Now, go and fix your sweaters!!!
