Cardigans have taken a back-seat this season, to make way for the SWEATER. Whether it's knit, jersey, marle or melange... I am absolutely loving sweaters right now. And no, I'm not talking about the infamous David Bain sweaters. However, if you feel the need to don one of those, make sure you warn your friends first. Please. It's in my best interest to keep your friendship intact. We've come up with the best concept to add a little edge to your sweater this season! Behold, the 'cool-cut' sweater...
YOU WILL NEED: - 1x Sweater (AS COLOUR - Women's Crayon Crew Sweater $39.00) - Scissors - Pins - Tape - Ruler/Tap Measure - Fabric chalk/pencil FIRST STEP: Organise how many square cut-outs you prefer on your sleeve. Using either tape, chalk or a pencil, map out where the cut-outs are going to be on one sleeve. Make sure you leave enough room in between each cut out. SECOND STEP: Carefully cut out around your marked areas.
THIRD STEP: Fold the sweater in half so the sleeves match up - ensure the already cut sleeve is on top. Use pins to keep the sweater in place if needed. Mark around the cuts carefully.
FOURTH STEP: Carefully cut out the other sleeve and TA DA... you have yourself an awesome 'cool-cut' sweater! AS COLOUR has just opened a new store 'Big Little T-shirt Shop' located 1 Mt Eden Rd. www.ascolour.co.nz
