So Long Leopard Print!

My aunt is a dear sweet soul, and she loves to give me her clothes that she just can't wear. She takes excellent care of them, and I always feel special that she gives them to me. Well, when I was in the 7th grade she brought me this sweater:
I loved the black knit portion, but the horrible part was the fluff at the top and on the wrists. It itched, and was so uncomfortable. It just had to go. So I was bored, looking at Pinterest like I normally do when I'm bored, and I found a link to where you can take old shirts and make them into cardigans. Obviously this is a simple idea, brilliant, but simple, and I didn't even think of it. So I grabbed that fluff and I chopped it off.
See, isn't that better? Then I measured from the seams to the center of the front and cut all the way from top to bottom. Then I folded over the edges and hemmed it by hand. Obviously it's adorable. I wear it all the time when I can. It makes a perfect cover for those dresses or shirts that just don't do it for me. It's awesome! Now I don't have a picture of the end product because I got too excited. Sorry. But this is what it looked like after I cut from the top to bottom. (Just pretend you can see the hem and that it looks super cute, okay? Thanks!)
