It sort of puts me in mind of a letterman's sweater for some reason. Which makes me want to do something similar on a cardigan... Such a cool way to personalize your clothes, huh?

DIY: Feather Sweater
I really wanted to update this plain purple sweater somehow and my first thought was to take the popular route of the giant appliqued or felted heart on the front.

I love how my feather adorned sweater turned out. It actually looks like it was meant to be-- and I think the key to this is working with the same texture/grade of fabric for both your sweater and the applique you sew on it. This was SO simple and quick. Here's how:

I've got a huge pile of old clothes that I have been saving to "do" something with...something about them makes me not want to put them in the Goodwill pile, but I haven't figured out everything I want to turn them into yet. I think this is an excellent place to start! Very creative!
