DIY: Contrast Cuff Sweater

So I recently chopped the sleeves off my white shirt (tutorial for that coming soon) and I wanted to make something else from the offcuts. With a little inspiration from the contrast fabric trend circulating lately, I created these removable cuffs. You can add them to a knitted top to make a kind of 'hybrid' shirt. It's like an unexpected cross between a formal men's shirt and a cozy, casual sweater. To take this DIY a step further; try adding different buttons or a little embellishment.

 THE INSPIRATION

Contrast Sleeves by shoes-sushi-and-sparechange featuring a lace blouse

STEP 1

Unbutton the cuff and chop it from the sleeve about 1cm away from the stitching.

STEP 2

Fold the extra fabric down and start stitching along the original line of sewing.

Hope you enjoy this little DIY. I'd always love to see your own fashion creations on twitter or instagram just tag me @shoes_and_sushi!
