All I used was some matching black netted fabric and a sewing machine.I cut a piece large enough to cover the cleavage area and folded it at the top so I had one less seam to sew.

Pinned it in place and tried it on to make sure it was sitting correctly.

Lastly I added some black lace at the top just for an extra detail.

While I was at the sewing machine I also shortened the strap.

I used white thread so you could see the inside:

Taadaa!

I don’t know why it took me so long to get around to doing this >_< I like it so much more and it is much more wearable now!

You need:

• Some kind of nice fabric, again I was being cheap so I used some left overs from another project
• Lace for the edges
• Sewing machine and overlocker, I probably wouldn’t hand stitch this because it would take forever.

Cut it into a big square. To decide on how big roughly estimate how long you want it to hang down from your neck-back and use that as the side measurements.

Now fold each of the corners in to the middle.

And where they meet up horizontally pin them together. The corners on the left side go together as do the right ones.

Cut off the point at the end, this is where your hands will poke out of the sleeves 😀

Now stitch down the sides that you pinned together. I prefer to use an overlocker for this but you can also zigzag to keep the edges from unraveling.

You should have something like this 😀

And this is where you should have stitched:

Now really that’s all the cardigan is made up of… seriously. It’s just because of the shape that they drape so nicely. I decided to decorate mine with some random lace Celeste gave me for my stash.

I stitched it all around the neckline/center hole in a big circle.

I added it to the sleeves as well to match.

Details:

And yep that’s all there is to it 😀 It’s long and comfy 😀 I think I would considering buying or making a big knit one. In fact, I have a blanket I knit ages ago that I could easily turn into one of these!

What do you guys think Yay or Nay to big batwing sleeves like this?
