How To Alter The Neckline On A Sweater - DIY Tutorial
#dressmaking #handmadewardrobe #sewingvlog
In this sewing video, I am showing you how easy it is to alter a neckline on a sweater. I thrifted my sweater which I have worn so much but I never really liked the turtle neck style. So I took my scissors and I am going to show you how I did it.

I think it’s brilliant Jayne. I need to go thru my wardrobe and tweak the things I don’t like so they get some wear. They just sit there unworn and it’s too bad. Too long. Too short. Too big. Too small. I can try to make them just right. 😊👌🏼

The jumper looks lovely.When altering any knitted fabric I always see two rows of zigzag stitching before cutting.You can then cut between the zigzag lines without any danger of the fabric running.I do the same with neckbands and any knitted fabric left over so I can use it again.This allows you to handle the fabric with more confidence.

Loved this!!!! Thank you very much for a lovely video tutorial. As my hubby bought me these long turtle neck sweater dresses that I just do not care for as I am petite, also had neck surgery, so I do not care to have anything on my neck. As well as I am claustaphobic so wearing this makes me feel choked. I sew many things, so this was just a wonderful help. Thank you.

Thank you for this instructive video. I've done a similar process with turtle necks on shirts made from jersey and t-shirt fabric, but I'm nervous about the sweater in case it starts to unravel on me! I wonder what you think about using a double needle afterwards to keep the new seam down and give the neck a more professional finish? Do you think it would cause too much stretching?

Hi yes it definitely works …. I used my coverstitch on my second one and it looks great xx

Love the idea, but find it a little complicated, adding that extra piece onto the sweater 😮

@mejhon6592 2 жыл бұрын

So is alot work to remove the turtle neck because the guy told me that he cant remove the turtle neck that he can just leave it 2 fingers higher. But i do not want the turtle neck.

@I-P-777 6 ай бұрын

Mine got a polo neck but it is with a zipper. it is very loose when i zip it all up. maybe my neck is to thin, any ideas how to fix it from being so loose and hang over the chest almost? Thanks and Merry Christmas!

@lisashaw309 6 ай бұрын

If it has a metal zipper, especially a large one, it will weigh too much and hang down. Maybe you could replace the zipper with a plastic zipper. A fine, light one will pull down less from the neckline.
