Sewing Project: Upcycling a Jumper into a Cardigan

Hi,
as I mentioned in my April post, I have several sewing projects I need to finish, and here is one I have finally managed to complete: turning a cashmere jumper into a cardigan/ jacket.
I started this project at a French Knots 'Clothes Clinic' workshop in June 2015. My grandma gave me that jumper in the 1990s, so it was a bit tight, but it is cashmere and a lovely almond green colour, so, despite the fact that it seems to be a magnet for moths, I just could let go of it.
Jo encouraged me to be quite radical about it, and I liked the idea of a Chanel-style cardigan/ jacket, so I chopped off the ribs at the bottom so that the hem would sit at my waist, and cut the cuffs off so that it would have 3/4 sleeves. I also widened the neckline and cut the front straight in the middle.



I then started sewing some floral bias binding along the 2 front edges and the neckline. Then, unfortunately, the project sat in the sewing room for more than a year, where two moths managed to have another go at it.
But I picked it up again on Tuesday for French Knots' Sewcial, and finished it yesterday at last. Here is the finished product:

It's good to have finally finished this. Now, I have another six French Knots projects to finish, in particular my Advent bunting that I started in November 2014 and didn't finish in time for Christmas 2014, nor Christmas 2015. I really want to put it up by 1st of December 2016 - it's good to have a deadline.
I will incorporate the patchwork star cushion I made in September 2014 into a quilt I started in October 2014.
I still keep the Dorset brooch in my handbag (started in January 2015) - must admit whenever I have a moment, I tend to read my Kobo rather than progress this embroidery progress. It would look perfect on my new cardigan though.
Still need to sew the buttons on  the patchwork clock (started January 2015).
And still need to assemble the bamboo handle bag (started in February 2015).
I also now have a snap purse to finish, and I made a dolman-sleeved T-shirt yesterday - my first attempt with jersey - that just a hem and cuffs.
Watch this space!
