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.
Well done Jayne I was nervous about cutting the knitted fabric but excellent tips and tricks for a great transformation You are so confident in your sewing Thanks for sharing your thoughts and idea Take care and happy sewing God bless you
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.
WOW you are brilliant. Also seniorly here, would like a video on modification to tshirts with vnecks and boat necks modified to crew neck. Could include any other ideas for binding or ‘add ons’ if other fabric ....really enjoy your channel and patterns...God bless!
Jayne, Thank you so much! I have a top I made with a funnel neck that just doesn't look good on me. I'm going to modify the top the same way you did. Thank you again. Suzanne
Love this. It's not what I was looking for, but I happen to have a turtle neck jumper that I would reather was a V-neck. Do you have a video for that? TIA. X
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?
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!
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.
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.

My cat is obsessed with sewing, too!

Love the idea, but find it a little complicated, adding that extra piece onto the sweater 😮
Is thzt red jumper real wool or manmade knit?
Manmade I think
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.
