DIY a Blanket Into a Chic Vest!
I had this gorgeous crocheted blanket that I wanted to wear because the colours are so vibrant. So I decided to turn into a wearable, chic, long vest!
This is the pattern of the blanket up close. Plus you can see that I folded over about 7 inches to turn that into a simple collar:
Then I used a sleeveless top to use as a sort of guiding pattern to wear I should cut out the sleeves:
From the piece I cut out, I proceeded to unravel the leftover yarn so that I could use it to sew up where I needed to:
Here are examples of some of the pieces of yarn...
I used these to sew all around the arm hole to secure the stitches!
Next, it was time to tack the collar so that it would be permanently firm and in place.
Here's another pic of me sewing with yet another colour yarn:
Las step was simply to sew on 3 different coloured buttons. No need to make button holes, as the buttons can easily pass through the crochet holes already there! Here's the buttons from up close:
And here is the vest! I am loving this look so much!
