Quick-ish Cardigan Alteration Project

 I sometimes love to do quick little sewing projets just to personalised someof the basic stuff I buy on the cheap.

I have been meaning to buy a little black cardigan for a while now and the other day we went to check out the Salvo's store near our place.

 

I got this cardigan pretty cheap but thought it looked a little too bag lady just as it was so I made it a sewing project.

 

I still had this cute little bat motif I bought off an etsy seller Dexy And The Wolf and thought the stark contract really works while its still a pretty small addition to the cardigan.

These gorgeous lion head knocker buttons from Lyanwood were the perfect size to replace the boring black buttons that the cardigan came with.

 The sleeves were the hardest to do, specially the one at the top as I had to be careful not to sew the folded fabric together.

Originally the cardigan had 4 buttons per sleeve but I thought having a lions head right at the edge of the sleeve was unneccessary and would probably be prone to hooking on things.
