I think I shall sew a large press-stud (snap) on tomorrow and add a button on the top and try wearing it for real to see how it works. I used Simplicity 4029, some satin bias tape and the leftovers to create the new cardi which I really like.
I think I need to add some tape into the shoulder seam as its stretching all over the place and it could take a press but overall I like the idea.

GREAT job reworking that cardigan! I love the refashion of this garment.
Great idea. If the colour works for you then reworking it is a fabulous idea. Tape on the shoulder seams always keeps my knit garments intact. Love your work.
Great idea, the new jacket is much more flattering.
Wow! That sure worked well! I really like the look of the refashioned cardigan. It has a lot of flare and is much more interesting than the original. Good for you for having the eye and the skill to do this.
