The Bow Sweater

 Hello Readers. I am an avid thrifter. Not everything at the thrift store is in perfect condition. Sometimes things have a bit of damage. This sweater was like that. It was nice soft cashmere but it had a few small holes in the front. I thought I should mend them. 

I made a bow sweater. 

The holes were not big, I just didn't like them.  

I saw this sweater on TikTok. It was so cute! The bows gave me an idea. I could mend the holes and add a bow to cover the spot.  

I grabbed some ribbon. 

I sewed the ribbons on all over the front of the sweater to make it look like the original sweater. 
 
It was done but I did not like wearing it. When I wore it the bows fluttered around when I moved and it drove me crazy! I ended up removing all the bows a few days later. 
 
I saw this sweater on Pinterest. It was cute too. 
 
I found some pom-poms.... should I sew these on the sweater? Will they drive me crazy too?? Any thoughts? Let me know in the comments. I am in a sewing idea spiral. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
