Finished Object Friday

First off - please remember those that were affected by the tornadoes in the last week! Quite a frightening experience! Those same storms were over us on Tuesday evening, but there wasn't the widespread damage as they have experienced. I certainly was relieved to hear from Brittany Wed. evening - they are all ok, but maybe still without power.

Thanks all for the sweet comments on my Easter post. We had a wonderful day! But now it's time for Finished Object Friday! So here is my "object:"


Oh, wait... you've seen that picture before, haven't  you? Well, my sweater is my finished object! :)

I had my outfit together with a basic white jacket, but I wanted to find something a little more feminine/springy! After a bit of shopping (first online then at the store...) I figured I didn't want to pay $30.00 for what I wanted, and decided after looking at a few sweaters, "I can do this!" So I did!! (This sweater was my inspiration.) So I found this sweater on clearance:



Bought some fabric and cut out circles:

I bought a 1/4 of a yard and ironed it into thirds. Then cut the circles out (cutting three out at a time went soo fast! I ended up with more than I needed!) I then folded them into fourths before pinning them for placement. I used my sewing machine to sew them securely down - much faster than hand stitching! :) (Oh and the inside window of a paper cd sleeve was the perfect size circle!) :)

Here it is up close:


The whole project came together very fast with minimal frustration. (Although I did tack the collar down once while sewing a "petal." Out came the seam ripper!) :)  And I had my fun, fluttery, feminine cardigan for Easter morning! :) 

So now it's your turn to share! What fun projects have you had up your sleeve? :)
