I gave this shirt a “makeover” and found the inspiration from a cardigan I saw at Anthropologie.
Before. Got it from Korea for $10.
Then I cut up a turtleneck sweater I had for more than 10+ yrs. for the ruffles.
After. I just saved $120+ dollars! π
That's so cute Sarah!! love it!! =)
Cute! I am so impressed! I love Anthropology but they are So expensive!

γγγγͺγ!
Just stopped by from the blog party and I just have to say that you are absolutely adorable! And that goes for your little family, too!!
Hey, I just visited your husband's blog! Love what you did with the shirt.
I'm visiting from UBP! Hope you can drop by my Party!!
Love that blouse! Super cute. I am following from UBP. Hope you can drop by my blog later!
Anthropologie is on my Top 5 list of stores I miss the most from the US. I love your project, and I think that if you ever kick off your line, I'll be a customer. The sweaters and aprons are my favorite part of that store.
By the way, y'all are probably the cutest family I've seen lately! I just want to pinch your girls. π
Love those ruffles – great job!
Hopped over from the Ultimate Blog Party. You did a really great job replicated that cardigan! I wish I was that talented! Have a great weekend.
Ok seriously? I'm jealous. I haven't progressed much beyond elastic waist skirts and napkins. I've added you to my reader. Hope you're enjoying the party!
Not sure how I found your blog, but I LOVE the sweater. Gorgeous. I also love Anthropologie but normally shop their sale rack.
Love what you did with this sweater!!May I ask how you keep the ruffle from fraying?

Thanks for joining Get Your Craft on Thursday! Please join me next week for another great party!
Wow! I love this!! Your's turned out better than Antro's! Looks so great!!! I want one now! Haha! Thanks for linking up!
Oh, I LOVE the sweater! Gosh, I sure do like the Anthro style. Stopping by from UBP.
Fabulous sweater! Now you've got me thinking of what I have around here that I can re-do!
Happy UBP 2010!
Wow, thank you so much everybody! I appreciate all your comments very much. π
Mary: You asked me what I do to keep the ruffles from fraying. I used a fabric that had 46% cotton, 37% acrylic, 15% nylon, and 2% spandex and the fabric itself doesn't fray naturally! so I just cut it up and that was it! Hope that helps! π
Julie: you asked for some tips? I'm sorry I didn't do a tutorial. I plan on doing it in the future so I bet you'll be glad to hear that! π My tip will be to start with a v-neck cardigan and get a fabric that matches the color and the fabric of the cardigan the best. It can either be a new fabric or something u already have. I used a fabric that had 46% cotton, 37% acrylic, nylon, and spandex and it doesn't fray the ruffles. Good luck!
SOO CUTE! I love this. I'd love for you to link up over here http://iheartnaptime.blogspot.com/2010/04/sundae-scoop-link-party.html

Stopping over from the UBP! Can I just say your makeover is FABULOUS! So impressive. I refuse to spend that kind of money too…especially with kids…everything end up with something else on it.
