Small DIY

I have not made a lot lately because I have no sewing machine and am struggling to find things I can do with what materials I have with only hand sewing. But there we go, I will just have to wait to get the machine back. 

Anyway today I finally decided what I was going to do with this black jumper I found of my mam's. 

I had this shirt I bought for a cowboy night out in uni that had these tassels on the shoulders. I kept the shirt in case and now I am glad I did. I will put these on to the jumper to jazz it up a little. 

1st.

So here is the jumper. It has flaps on the shoulders that used to have buttons on. This is where I will sew the tassels on. 

Here are the tassel things. Pretty.

2nd.

Pretty simple, I started to sew along the top line of the piece to match almost identically to the shoulder flap leaving about a mm gap. I used white cotton to match the piece. 

Here are some photos of the final piece. It looks good, now I just need to decide if I am to do anymore to it. 

Decisions. 

     

Onwards for my next project. I need to find some inspiration. Lots of research will help.
