From Tight v-neck to Nice v-neck
I just did another simple refashion. I have worn this thrifted shrunken men's merino wool sweater for a while. I like it but the v-neck is too tight on my neck. So I decided to use some remnant purple cotton velvet in my stash to redo the neckline. The sweater is now much more wearable and has more character too!

Great job. Did you have any problems with the knit fraying? Jumpers can be a bit tricky to refashion can't they?

Thanks Bryony. I always make sure that I sew on the new neckline before cutting out the old one in case it frays or gets stretched out. I used 2 tight zig-zags to attached the new neckline hoping it will not fray!
Wow that looks so much better, and great tip about cutting after you've sewn the knit fabric
Thanks Wag Doll! My thick short neck needs some deep v-neck tops!
