sweater surgery

I did a quick overhaul on a thrifted sweater last week.  I found it for a great deal, and the color is just the most perfect pink, but as a pullover, and a petite size at that, it accentuated all my problem areas these days!  So, I snipped it up the middle, added a little grosgrain ribbon facing, handstitched down, and prettied it up.  The trim around the neck is vintage from a lovely friend who finds all manner of thrifted goodies, and the doily is also vintage.  The crocheted flower was easy-peasy, done using this pattern, and I think it adds a lot!  Overall, I am pretty pleased with myself, having married both creativity and frugality in this project:)
