Cut & Sew Refashion: Part II

In my previous post, I showed how to convert a spare Cut & Sew cardigan into a simple miniskirt. Although it was a good start, I modified the original skirt into this:

Refashioned Cut & Sew cardi

As a side note, I haven't had altered anything else I've received from Golden Tote (where the Cut & Sew cardi came from); I'm a huge fan of shopping with GT! However, this Cut & Sew cardigan is a rare exception, since it was both a duplicate item I received from the special January mystery tote and low in demand on the Facebook Golden Tote Trading Group. In any case, I've posted a tutorial for any of those interested!

Cut & Sew Cardigan to Skirt Refashion

Last year, I stumbled upon Golden Tote, a concept designed by Sarah Becker and Sarah Sweeney, the owners of the clothing line Puella. Every month, "small" and "large" totes are available for purchase; you select 1 or 2 items, and Golden Tote fills up the rest of your tote with 1-2 or 3-5 additional "surprise" items, which are selected loosely based on your designated fashion preferences.

This month, Golden Tote is offering mystery totes for purchase. These mystery totes include items from last year, but unlike the typical totes offered each month, the mystery totes are pre-curated and all items in the tote are randomly selected.

In my mystery tote, I had the luck of receiving mostly items which I already had. I posted some of these duplicate items for trade on the Facebook Golden Tote Trading Group, but I decided to keep my duplicate Cut & Sew cardigan. Although I'm a huge fan of my Cut & Sew cardigan pictured below, after receiving another in a very similar pattern, I decided to try my hand at a refashion.
