One piece couldn't take that long, and would give you a little creative freedom, not to mention upcycle cred.Corneliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04775115102002571105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-48455672095347432782011-12-03T09:39:34.427-05:002011-12-03T09:39:34.427-05:00Great idea to treat the sweater as a fabric and re...Great idea to treat the sweater as a fabric and refashion into the Burda top. Wonder if you can trim here and there and still get the general design of the top using the amount of fabric you have? Can't wait to see what you decide. By the way, I love how your lacy scarf turned out in your previous post -- wonderful pattern and color!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11994553975406806627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-12138604006553769752011-12-03T08:21:49.847-05:002011-12-03T08:21:49.847-05:00You could give the sweater a V-neck and then use w...You could give the sweater a V-neck and then use what you cut away at the bottom to make a shawl collar that is continued as "ties", which may have to end at the side seam.

Looking forward to seeing what you decide to do with it.ParisGrrlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-53555405658021686802011-12-01T20:33:19.238-05:002011-12-01T20:33:19.238-05:00hmm, maybe a simple drape-neck top.
