Emmi got a new wool cardi

That was mine again, was bought in Rom, Italy two years ago
but I never wore because it got too short  after first washing, phew!!..

Yesterday I took it from my wardrobe, tried it on Emmi
Its´ length fits her well
except the width is loose, and sleeves are long
but they´re definitely no big problems

I just folded the sleeves like you see in the picture and hand-sewn in place. 
No cutting or machine sewing. I was scared about them since the cardi is made from wool.
Then took in at the back for more fitting, added a bow to disguise

  4. Super cute! I wish it had been something from scratch so I could copy it exactly! LOL. I have some shrunken sweaters though, I should save them for just this kind of remake.
