This was a sweater that I used to love, but after I lost some weight it was way too big for me. I’ve become infatuated with deep plunging backs lately, and I thought it would be pretty cool if I could turn it backwards and turn it into a tank with a deep v-back.
It was really easy to do – took about an hour all together. I cut off the arms and the neckline and took it in one the sides. I turned it backwards, pinned it to my dressform to get the shape for the neckline right and finished those edges. I finished the raw edge of the neck piece, and finally gathered the (new front) a bit, and sewed the neck piece and the bodice together.
I really love this! I would have never had thought of doing this. Love the color too!
