Tailored Waterfall Cardigan

A simple project to update a oversized thrift store cardigan.

This project literally took me one hour. The 3 steps I do to tailor any shirt are to cut the arms off, take them in, sew the side seams and arm hole to accommodate the smaller sleeve (sometimes I cut the shoulder up a little so there's not a drop shoulder) and attach the sleeves again. For this cardigan, I didn't have a serger, so I did french seams.
