Ruffled Vest Refashion

Ruffled Vest Refashion
This was a fun easy project that was an idea from a good friend of mine. I started with her simple quarter sleeve light sweater, cut the sleeves off, cut down the middle to create a vest... sew over it... and you have created a light ruffled top adorable for summer!

In Process... easy project for a total of 1 hour tops! I love taking something old and making it new, fun and styling!

    1. The ruffles were made from left over pieces from the sleeves. I serged the edges on them and then I ruffled & sewed them to the edges "middle" of the sweater. You could finish the raw edges however you'd like though! Lace, ruffles... etc. :)
