Project Time:20 Minutes
Materials:
Plain Cardigan (Mine was 1.49 at Goodwill)
Lace (I have also used chiffon, tulle, etc to make this kind of flower in the past)
Candle or other heat source
Scissors
Needle
Thread
For each flower cut
2- 4 inch circles
2- 3inch circles
2- 2 inch circles
Hint: To speed up the cutting process and cut multiple circles of the same size at the same time, you can layer your lace.
Use a candle to singe the edges of the two largest circles. To do this hold the fabric about 2 inches away from the flame until the edges curl.

If your fabric starts on fire, you are too close... Some people use a tweezers for this part, but I am a risk taker...
Repeat this process with your two medium circles and your two small circles.
Stack your singed circles largest to smallest and give them a couple of basting stitches.
Love your refashioned cardigan!

As for the post-raphaelite shirt - well, I've been drooling over that for years! Still haven't built up on courage to attempt copying it!
