I have a beautiful silk sweater that's way too big since I lost weight. I just couldn't give it away because I loved it but didn't know what to do with it. Now, thanks to you, I know I will be able wear it again! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
This video has been a GREAT help today! I sew for our holiday play by refurbishing used clothing. I found the perfect red and blue stripe sweater but it was a size XXL and I needed a size M for the performer. Your video filled in a couple of steps that I would have missed and ruined the original. Thank you!
Thank you. I’m hoping to fix my moms Christmas sweatshirt this way today. It’s very large across the chest and shoulders. And now I have returned to do a very similar project. The first one came out perfectly.
Very helpful, thank you. Please choose other music to accompany instruction. It was very distracting. Again, the lesson was very useful for a project I’m working. Best to you.
Beginner here: During the marking step, how did you know your new arm hole marking would fit the sleeve you cut off? Whenever I do stuff like this, the arms always get botched. Can you let me know what I can do to get the same result? Or does someone know where I can learn more about this exact type of arm hole alteration? I can't find any video that explains this.
It's a while ago now, but I think I just knew from the pinning stage that the sleeve would be wide enough. I think I gave the armscye a roughly correct shape when I cut it - you can look at pictures of sweatshirt sleeve patterns to see what that looks like. So, when I sewed the new underarm seam (the one that goes from cuff to hem), they would match in length automatically. As I say, it's been a few years since I did this video, but I think that's roughly how I did it :)
Love this video, as a beginner it's the most simple tutorial I've come across! Would this same method work for jumpers of different fabrics or t-shirts?
Do you think there is any difference between this method, and the method of simply sewing down the side and armpit/sleeve and then cutting off the excess?
Doing it that way would mean you'd have to resew the cuff (because the sleeves would be quite long) and the armscye seam would be further down your arm. It depends what result you want :)
It would depend on the specific fabric. With a loose knit, I'd be very careful and probably use a sewing machine as well as an overlocker. Stabilising the seams and using a walking foot might also help, but it really depends on the fabric's properties.
Take it to an alterations place in your location, perhaps dry cleaners? Also you could practice on a thrift store purchase before tackling a better garment.
The picture in the thumbnail is literally the sweater she was working on. I could possibly understand your statement, if she had specified, "knitted" sweater in her title, but she didn't. People in different regions of the world refer to things differently, you shouldn't punish the creator because of a misunderstanding of language inside your own head. Not trying to be mean or a smarty pants but maybe you should assume less and pay more attention. I'm looking for the same kind of tutorial as you are, as in one for knitted sweaters. But I'm not mad I found this one. I'm not going to dislike it just because I assumed it was about something knitted. I'm not from the UK, maybe they call every long sleeved top a sweater? Idk? The creator NEVER said the word knitted in her title. I don't think people realize how much work people put into making these videos, it's so simple for people to just press the dislike over something silly. Switch places with the creator, how would you feel if someone disliked your videos because of their own assumptions? That probably really hurts the creators feelings especially if they DON'T deserve it.
If you looked até the dizer of my sweatshirt... It's much, much biggest than this one, it's huge, Very long and wide. If i wear It out all loose, It looks like i'm wearing a dtess, it's the way i like It: big, without a hood and with a kangaroo pocket.
This is NOT A SWEATER🤬🤬🤬 A sweater is made from YARN Its called a SWEATSHIRT‼️‼️‼️ With a hood and zipper its a sweatjacket, with a hood, front pocet, and no zipper, its called a hoodie. I REALLY wish your generation would get it right‼️‼️‼️ It makes it difficult to search and is verry annoying when you dint refer to things by their proper names‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
I am a retired tailor and you did an awesome alteration. I hate when those overlocks don't work correctly!
Thank you! 🥰 That means a lot!

Happy to hear it! 😊

Thank you for sharing in such a clear and concise way how to do something new to me..
Merci beaucoup pour votre vidéo 👍
Je vais la garder de côté quand j'aurai des sweats à mon mari a refaire. 😊
Merci 👍
Thank you for such a clear and helpful video.
Glad it was helpful! :)
Amazing video. Exactly the resource i needed!
Impressive. You took your time and did a beautiful job. Thank you.
Thank you very much 😊
My anxiety 📈 when she started cutting

I think you could use it on t-shirts. With sweater knits you'd have to be careful as they might unravel.

Fantastic, now I know how to do it but can the same thing be done with a knitted jersey?
It would depend on the specific fabric. With a loose knit, I'd be very careful and probably use a sewing machine as well as an overlocker. Stabilising the seams and using a walking foot might also help, but it really depends on the fabric's properties.
awesome alteration TNs
I have a question. I have a hoodie which is 3 times too big on me, would I be able to send it to you to have it made smaller? I’d obviously pay :)))))
Thank you, but I don't do alterations outside of my day job any more due to stress 😅

In the english language it is called a sweater, which is not a knitted fabric.
I’m looking for someone to alter my sweater anybody live in Hesperia ca ?
Hey dude u r osm 😘
I had to look osm up, but thank you 😅
I disliked this tutorial because the example shown is not a traditional knitted sweater as the title implies, it's a sweatshirt.

It’s a language. Languages evolve.
Very frustrating for us oldsters.
