Bolero from repurposed Sweater

This adorable Bolero was created from a sweater and a few accent pieces. It is shown being worn over a simple cotton shift with a wide band of lace.  If you’ve ever seen items similar to this in a boutique you know how pricey they are. This Bolero was inspired by one costing over $150.00.    The main image shows this project created with a solid black sweater and white trim.  To inspire you, the instructions feature a celery green sweater and fuchsia trim.  You’re going to be amazed at how easy this is.  I believe that creativity inspires creativity.  Make just one, and you’ll be filled with ideas to alter and enhance an entire wardrobe.
