Seahorse Jacket!

A couple of weeks ago we were watching one of our favorite shows, How I Met Your Mother, when one of the characters walks out in a seahorse sweater!I love seahorses and so naturally I automatically fell in love and had to find it. I searched and searched online and finally found it… for only $335. That is outrageous, even if I had the money to spend that amount on a cardigan, I just don’t think I would.

I didn’t think I could make it but then decided to at least try. I found a cute purple zip up jacket, with thumb holes in the wrist of the sleeve, and it was only $9 from Walmart. I went to my mom’s and she helped me cut the design out of tshirt vinyl and we ironed it on. The tshirt vinyl would not have worked with cardigan / sweater material so I had to find a different option. Of course it is a different look than the original but honestly I will wear a jacket much more than I would be able to wear a cardigan. I am really pleased with the results!!!!
