I would like to share with you another refashion. I think sweater refashions are my favorites because, if you have a serger, they are whipped up in a jiffy and soooo forgiving ! So I always keep an eye out for some cool patterned men's XL sweaters to refashion into more flattering and feminine garments for moi.
So I started with this unflattering number:
And with the magic of scissors, thread and wool : Ta da ! (Oh dear, don't mind my weird face...)
A much better fitting and flattering sweater. The edges of the sleeves and collar are crocheted. I still have to finish my bottom edge. I'll see if I serge or crochet, depending on time factor.
If you want more details on the reconstruction, go see my blog sewliltime.
Peace !

wow! Very nice. I wish I'd seen this before I started chopping up one of my old sweaters.
