This video was extremely helpful! I cut and cropped a sweater earlier today and had no clue what I was going to do to the new fraying hem! I used my serger and it turned out so much better than I thought it would. I am thinking I will probably hand stitch the serged edges down on the inside so it lays flatter after pressing some, but otherwise it is so great! Thank you!
When I have shortened knits, I sew some stay stitching to hold the edges together "before" cutting. You have less stretching and areas that may run or unravel.
Yes, a straight stitch on the side where you will have the new hem or on both pieces if rejoining a decorative hem after shortening. If it's a thick knit, use a little longer stitch so it doesn't bunch up. You could also hand sew a running stitch. Sometimes it is easier to maintain an even hem with all hand sewing especially with a cable or decorative knit. Hope this is helpful. @@pamgroom7117
@@katbird5626 My machine has a basting stitch that stitches every 1/2 inch. I would use that on a thick knit (like a sweater) especially if I want to remove it after you attach the pieces. On a thinner knit, a stitch every 1/4 inch might work. If you have some scraps or even some old knee socks you could practice before sewing your knit top. I hope this helps!
Oh my gosh you are darling! And just in time too! I have a huge sweater and I was thinking of making it a crop. Then I thought, nah thats crazy right? Then you did it! I am so going to crop my sweater! Thank you!!!
This is so necessary!!! I have a cream cashmere sweater I got a coffee stain on it and couldn't get it out and made more damage using bleach 🥴 whoops!! Ican stretch it enough to cut the stain out and crop it. I think this will work!! Thank you!!
@@SewAnastasia I found your other video without the serger so I will use that method. Question... my sweater is ivory and cashmere with a small knit weave , so no designs or crazy knitted pattern. The stain is a bit too high as it's right below the bust by 1 inch and would be shorter than I prefer if I did a 1 inch hem. I may have to give it a 4-5 inch hem after measuring it which would create a seam line 1 inch under the bust but the crop would hit at the belly button. Would this look awful 😖? LOL Curious what you think about this long hem if the seam line would ruin the look... i guess it would be like an empire waisted cropped sweater? Interested in your response. If it's better to do it shorter I could later it over a dress. Thanks for your help Anastasia!! I subscribed and I need to get back into a sewing class. You're very sweet and inspiring!!
Since I don’t have a serger, what size stitch and what tension should I use with the zig-zag function of my machine. I have a few sweaters that are too long and I would love to shorten them. They are a plain knit with bottom ribbing. Your directions are great, nice and clear. Thanks!
Evonne Dalton Hi Evonne. I would suggest trying out different stitch lengths & widths on a scrap of the sweater. All fabrics will react differently. Your tension on the machine shouldn’t need to change but if it’s looking funny test it out on a scrap till it looks good! ❤️ Anastasia
I would suggest before cutting run a loose machine stitch above the ribbing and another just below where you intend to re attatch that way there os no running esp if it is an easy unravel stich. a couple extra minutes are so worth having more control
Thanks Anastasia! Love it. 😀💖 I so enjoy how you explain each step of the process as you plan it out, and say it all again as you do each part of the project. Very kind of you. ❤💕💖💕❤ I have a puff sleave "way too long on me" cream coloured sweater, that I have been planning on cropping to "my fit". I love the excess fabric used as a scarf/ turtle neck. That's what I was thinking of doing also. I am going to "trim/tailor the sides in", as well, when I crop my sweater. (We call them "jumper" in Australia/England) We call surger "over-locker", down here in Australia... for any of your southern hemisphere viewers. Thanks again. Love Princess Holly of Australia hairdresser 🕊🌿🌴🍃🌳🌲🍀🌻
Thank you very much for making such a great video with clear guidance and wonderful advice. I really enjoy watching your videos. Liked and subscribed. Would you please recommend important tools for a beginner like me? Thanks.
Never thought you could cut and sew sweater material! So inspired by this.. I bought a loonngg sweater jacket, many years ago.. wore it once and washed and dried it, hoping that it might shrink up a bit. It ended up shrinking only on one side, as it had both sweater fabric and a denim fabric mixed pattern. I've held on to this material for YEARS, hoping to do something with it. I'm thinking a few cool, hippy roped hand bags..?? Any suggestions on how to get started or what mistakes to watch out for? THANK YOU!!!
That came out pretty nice; considering that you were working with a pretty bulky sweater. What surprised me was when you lined up the seams on the band to the seams on the sweater - that was pretty thick. I was surprised the serger needle went right through that. That is the one thing that would've held me back from cropping that thick of a sweater. Congrats!
you dont need to trim the sweater, you could just fold the sweater up to where you want it and then sew along. trim the excess and you achieve the exact same result with less the effort. :)
Hi there, In which video do you show how to alter the set in sleeves of a jumper please? You mention it in the 80s jumper video, but I cannot find it yet. Thank you so much
Great video! I'm looking to do something similar! :) I'm wondering the same thing @TaDarling1 asked before and quoting here "when you serging the 2nd time, did you use the cutting blade to cut more off or simply serged on top of the previous serge (without the cutting blade) for some reinforcement." Thanks!!
Thanks! But why not fold if up and stitch on the top of the ribbing and then cut the excess off afterwards? I haven't tried shortening a sweater yet, but was thinking of doing it that way. Is there a reason you didn't do it that way?
that was great! I just found a knitted sweater at a thrift store the the whole thing is a bit bit. is it ever possible to take in the arm pits and sides?? what do you think? possible or should I not bother??
Looks great!! What were your serger settings? Does this required adjusting the differential or anything, to account for the bulk so it doesn't get wavy? I really struggle with knits on my serger and they all seem to come out wavy. I have yet to find the right setting combo :-/ But I really wanna try this!!
First time watching and great tips! I can’t lie you reminded me of Ugly Betty. Ignore the first word though... You’re really cute, your voice is sooo adorable! ♥️♥️
I have an amazing vintage sweater that has some holes that I am wanting to do this with. I don't have a Serger but will give it a try with a regular machine. Thanks for the video ❤️
Hi! Any advice on how to avoid puckering in the finished seam? I find it super hard to not have the knit get stretched out while sewing the hem back on, and wind up with a weird pokey puckered seam. Is the puckering just unavoidable? (I have a regular sewing machine not a serger)
Do you think it’s possible to do a video on how to put an elasticated waist in a jumper dress? Or add denim pockets to the back of a denim shirtdress. I was thinking couldn’t I just cut the back pockets from some old jeans and then sew them on the back? It’s purely for aesthetic purposes lol I’m not a sample size so I often have to customise my clothes. Could you show us how to take two of the same dresses and use one to make the other more appropriate I.e using the material for length or an under skirt. A lot of stuff I have is very short so I was thinking to to buy twice and then add where I need to. I also like the idea of adding things like a peplum to enhance shape etc. I’ve basically bought two of the same dresses because it was very see through and short and I’m hoping to create a better version lol Both dresses were on sale so it was worth it especially if I end up with a deress that fits my body shape and height perfectly ❤xxxx
Hi Anastasia, I want to sew a serger edge on my sweater to hem it. I tested the fabric and the edge looks like lettuce which is not what I want. Is there a setting I need to adjust?
I have a very beautiful knitted cardigan, but it’s an L ( while I’m an xs) and I would love to be able to make it smaller on the sides and sleeves? Do you by any chance know how to do that?
You are BOMB Anastasia! Great job. One question...when you serged over the bottom for the 2nd time, did you use the cutting blade to cut more off or simply serged on top of the previous serge (without the cutting blade) for some reinforcement. BTW...really cute kitty!!!
Your voice is much calmer and less 'sharp' in this video. I've only heard a couple of your videos. Honest feedback if you choose to accept or not. I may be too sensitive to it. And you look so cute! And your instructions are excellent. Thank you 😊
I need to shorten some sleeves. I’m so scared it will unravel. When I watch you cut sweaters they never seem to unravel. Any suggestions? Can I cut any kind of sweater?

Oh lord... your glasses... and your lipstick... and your bangs... and your pearly whites... and your perky positive vibe... and you sew! ☺️🥴 Is there a search engine to find one of you within a 20 mile radius of my location...?! Wheewff, is it hot in here anyone? Just me...?
Thanks for the advice! Also, It's always nice to hear "voila" as opposed to "wahlah"I think I do a nice job at not stickler-ing and correcting people's dialect but this one has always curled my toes. Blech.
Cute cropped sweater 💚. I don’t have a sewing machine but would like to change a high low cardigan into a shorter, one length cardigan. Can I see by hand or is there a product I can buy to help with this prom? Thanks!
Hey! I have this sweater witch i love exept for the neck line (sorry for my english) so i im looking for some tips to alter it, do you have any tips? Its a knitted sweater with big yarn like in this video but i can only find totorials like this one where they alter the botom of the sweater and not the neck. Thanks for any tips you may have.
I would cut the neckline where you want it and then zig zag it to keep it from falling apart. Then turn it under and cover stitch it, put binding on it or zig zag the hem. Hope that helps! I will do a video for altering the neckline next!
Because it's not very neat, you can see that in the far away shot, she tries to hide it :/ I wouldn't suggest doing this with a knit jumper like this, as it will pull and not be neat
Thanks for this! Your close up video does not show the sweater bottom so we can't really see the finished result. In your video taken from afar it looks a bit bunched and so I would have liked to see it up close.
I have made a bunch of other sweater hemming videos too. Check them out! This was my first one. I got more in detail in the other ones. Thank you for watching.

I wonder if you can hack that from a cardigan? You'd have cut open the side seams so you can sew the cardigan edges into the opposing side seams. Kinda tricky, but doable given the right sweater and some stay stitching prior to cutting.
Hi, I tried this and it worked great. Unfortunately I underestimated how short I am and the sweater is still a bit long, is there anyway I can just cut a bottom piece off and sew it on higher on the sweater, instead of re-doing the hem completely?

Great content! I would’ve liked seeing a closer look at the finish of the hem
Take a look at some of the other sweater videos I have created for more looks. I did the sleeve hems & neck in other videos.
Looks great! Just want to add I've been able to disguise reconnections by embroidering fake stitches over the top and it hides it really well.
That’s awesome 👏
This was great ... I was planning to throw away my over sized sweaters ... Now to know what to do of them ... Thanks
:-)
For sure! Lol
🎉💖💖💖 Brilliantly done! Oh, my! Also, your kitty is precious!
Thank you :)
I like the first folded up look. I'm going to do that to a sweater today, no cutting all sewing.
Awesome 👏
As an avid crocheter, the cutting sent me 😂

Wouldn't it more bulky then? Hmmm.

You can totally hand stitch it just make sure you whip stitch or finish any edges that you cut into if it’s an open weave sweater.
Could you do a video how to tuck bustline in a quilted vest?
Vest fits good, but loose bulk in bust area, being older plus size. Thanks.

Buy some elastic cuff matching the color or elastic band and sew on the end.
Would you recommend altering a coogi sweater ? I was given one but it is too long and would like to shorten it however it is vintage from the 90’s
How cool!!!!! I would totally alter it to look a bit more modern. That way you don’t feel outdated & you can still rock the sweater!

What is the reason the needle gets stuck in the bobbin when sewing knits
You are using the wrong needle so it’s not going through the fabric it’s just pushing the fabric into the machine.

Its a knitted sweater with big yarn like in this video but i can only find totorials like this one where they alter the botom of the sweater and not the neck. Thanks for any tips you may have.
I would cut the neckline where you want it and then zig zag it to keep it from falling apart. Then turn it under and cover stitch it, put binding on it or zig zag the hem. Hope that helps! I will do a video for altering the neckline next!
How to I make a puff skirt like the one at 0:06 s?
Why no close-up of the finished bottom???
deejaytori it was serged to finish the raw edge!!!
Because it looks like crap.
Because it's not very neat, you can see that in the far away shot, she tries to hide it :/ I wouldn't suggest doing this with a knit jumper like this, as it will pull and not be neat
Great energy!
Fran Artis thank you 😊 💕🤘🏻
Well, she’s adorable 😍
😘😘😘😘😘
OMG this is a good idea
Thanks for this! Your close up video does not show the sweater bottom so we can't really see the finished result. In your video taken from afar it looks a bit bunched and so I would have liked to see it up close.
I have made a bunch of other sweater hemming videos too. Check them out! This was my first one. I got more in detail in the other ones.
Thank you for watching.
Great your video and love your kitty

I wonder if you can hack that from a cardigan? You'd have cut open the side seams so you can sew the cardigan edges into the opposing side seams. Kinda tricky, but doable given the right sweater and some stay stitching prior to cutting.
this girl is so adorable

Well done!
Thank you :)
“Were not a hobo!” *huh*
Nice idea!
:)
Hi, I tried this and it worked great. Unfortunately I underestimated how short I am and the sweater is still a bit long, is there anyway I can just cut a bottom piece off and sew it on higher on the sweater, instead of re-doing the hem completely?
Pony Ny does your sweater have binding on it ? You could pin how much you want to take up & create a seam above the binding .
Sew Anastasia okay, thank you!
i suggest these scissors, theyre rainbow
how bout a brand name instead...
I dunno
Can I send my sweaters to you to alter?
You can . Email me at sewanastasia@gmail.com
