 | I found a awesome red maternity merino top hiding in my wardrobe that I hadn't worn in about a year. It was a bit stretched from my big preggy belly with Tigger, but still in great nick. |  |
I also thought it would brighten up my spring wardrobe, but decided I needed more cardigans than pullover tops.
So out came the scissors....
I chopped a straight line down the front and over-locked the edges.
I then turned the edge over twice and top stitched it down with red thread.

Then I hand sewed red buttons on the right side about 5 cm apart.
I didn't bother doing button holes as I wanted to keep the cardigan open - maybe I'll do them at a later stage.

These photos make it look pinker than it really is - Its bright firetruck red!
This refashion cost me nothing as I already had the buttons.
I have already worn this top so much more as a cardigan. It has been great to throw over t -shirts and singlets.
I have also worn it with a belt, which dresses it up a bit.
