I'm so grateful for this video! My mother hand knit my father an unusual Icelandic wool sweater that is much too big for me, but I could wear it as a cardigan. This is such a great idea and so doable!
As soon as my special ordered zipper arrives, I'll be sporting a stylish cardigan. Thank you for sharing a simple yet effective method of stabilizing prior to zipper insertation.
I have often wanted to do this with various sweaters, but never did. And I don't think I ever would've come up with the idea to use jersey fabric, but seeing you do that makes sense. Thanks so much for sharing your talents. I appreciate it very much.
Thanks a great bunch. I have multiple sweaters I want to do this to, I like them, but some are hard to get over my head, some I hardly wear because I don't want to take on and off over my waist length hair, making it staticy... Thanks a bunch!
Дорогая Елена! Благодаря вашему ролику я переделала в два счета свитер без рукавов в жилет. Это так просто, но сама бы я никогда не догадалась. Идея переделки зрела давно, но не осуществлялась из-за отсутствия навыков шитья. Спасибо вам за науку!
You made this look so easy. I will keep this in mind. I hate sweaters and sweatshirts that I have to pull over my head and the neck is always too tight. I think it looks nicer also. Great video!
Thank you!! I needed this tutorial! My aunt wants me to do this with an old Irish Aran sweater she never wears...but would wear it....if it was a cardigan. Wish me luck!
Oh My World! This seems so easy. I am new at sewing. Am not intimidated by it am just worried that I mess up. Will watch it several times to sharpen my skill. Love your technique. Now, would you make a tutorial on how to make your bracelet that you are wearing? I will need one of those to hold my pins not sure how it is called. Lol... thanks!
My dad needs cardigans due to not being able to pull sweaters over his head very well (he is 87). This will help immensley since it is hard to find good cardigans. Thanks so much.
Great Video; The best I seen. Now how does one get lucky enough to buy a separating zipper that is exactly the right size. I am informed that one cannot cut a separating zipper down to size
OH MY GOD! This is the most useful and clear video about this point. I couldn't have found video about this in russian, but found in english))) fun and wonderful. One question about jersey stripes. Are they just stripes made along warp tread or in diagonal? Or across? I can't understand by only watching video. Thanks!
Greetings Ladies of "Super" So Sew Easy, You have so many wonderful ideas for Beginners to Advance, that I had to save you as my Favorite and receive emails. You brought back the excitement of creating, mix media, transformation, and etc. Thank you!
You should of used a walking foot. If you had, you would of managed to keep the stripes running in a true line instead of being stretched out. Apart from that, if it had been a plain jumper, it would of looked great.
"Distracting" is the politically correct and polite way of saying... DAMNED ANNOYING! I'd much rather listen to the sewing machine with perhaps the odd comment from the sewer but, if you MUST have "music" for some reason unknown to me, MAKE IT MUSIC... not that damn tuneless computer junk on a loop.

Brilliant! Recreating old sweaters can save the planet!
Indeed!

It is my pleasure!
This is so great! Wish I had the courage to do this but I'm a beginner sewer so will wait a bit. thanks so much for sharing!
I love your technique, it's brilliant! Now I can make all the sweaters I want!
Brilliant thanks. You made it look so easy it was straight to the point and very easy to follow will definitely be using your technique
I loved this, and will do it to a couple of my pullover sweaters! Thanks for the ideas!!!
You are welcome!

Wow. WOW! Great job! Love this!!! Keeping n mind for my next thrift trip :)
Thank you so much .
You are fantastic .
Best regards from Morocco
Thank you , I have never been but I will one day!
Great video - definatley worth a try on an old jumper - thanks
This is what I have been looking for! Thanks so much for sharing!
Morgen werde ich es versuchen ❤️ Dankeschön, toll gemacht 👍🏻👍🏻
Omg you are awesome dear. I love your work. GOD bless you
Thanks for your video. It will help me a lot to transform my hoodie !
BEAUTIFUL JOB....you have a great talent.GOD BLESS YOU
Many Blessings back!
Thank you for sharing. Love what you did to the sweater. Great idea.
You are welcome Rosalinda!, Thanks for watching :)
Thank you for this video. Gonna turn a vintage Disney sweater into a cardigan now.
My dad needs cardigans due to not being able to pull sweaters over his head very well (he is 87). This will help immensley since it is hard to find good cardigans. Thanks so much.
It was my pleasure!
Wow that is such a good idea, and it’s easy, thank you for sharing it ...🙂
This is exactly what I needed I am dong this to a large swear shirt Thank you
Tks for sharing this tutorial with us
My pleasure!
Great Video; The best I seen. Now how does one get lucky enough to buy a separating zipper that is exactly the right size. I am informed that one cannot cut a separating zipper down to size
Not only enjoy
This video taught me a lot
God bless you
You are welcome!
Great video. Looks so simple too 😃
Yes it is Karen, thank you!
What a great idea! Would the sweater be as sturdy if I just sewed in the jersey pieces but didn't put in a zipper?
Yes it will be, the jersey is just for that! You can also add fusible stretchable interfacing if you have it or use a jacket zipper.
Love your wrist pincushion , where can I get one please?
I like your idea to change a pullover sweater into a cardigan--Can you use grosgrain ribbon instead of jersey fabric?
You could just need to keep it so straight as not to buckle. I would use a stretchable ribbon it would be easier to apply.
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing.
Great!!!! Now, I can do it!!!! Thank you!
Terrific Idea, can 't wait to try it
Hope you do Clarice!
Superb!!! I like your pin cushion .
Check that the stripes match evenly in front after you pin and before you sew the zipper on at the end of the video.
Can I do this without zipper? (It is a 2/3 V with pretty fasteners to close it on top) thanks!
Justo lo que necesitaba Que buen video!!!❤
do you have a tutorial on how to remove sleeves from a cardigan to make a sleeveless cardigan.
Where can I get this done. Took a sweater to a few places and everyone say they can’t do it or they just dnt want to idk
Thanks for sharing this.. I'll gonna try this soon 😊👍
WOW! Really fantastic dude.thanks for share
Really great tip ! Loving it!
Thank you Pamela!
What a great tutorial! Thank you. 🤗
Thank you Sharon!
Love it!!! Thank you so much for sharing😊
Does the sweater have to be bigger? Or can it be a slighty smaller pull over sweater and add the zipper or even buttons?
I have an old wool sweater that I love but can no longer wear. The arthritis in my shoulder is such that I can’t pull it over my head anymore 😢
WOW😲 LOVELY JUST LOVELY. GREAT 👍🏿 IDEA💡 I PLAN TO SHARE WITH MY SEAMSTRESS 👑THANK YOU SO MUCH💯
Saludos me encanta la idea 💡💡😍😍😍🙏🏾🙏🏾🌹🌹
Thank you very useful we will also use this method
OH MY GOD! This is the most useful and clear video about this point. I couldn't have found video about this in russian, but found in english))) fun and wonderful. One question about jersey stripes.

She said cut the jersey
strips parallel to the selvedge edge. 😊
That is so good,thanks so much
Brilliant! 😊❤
Very helpful. Thank you.
Awesome!!!! Thank you soooo much!!!!! I will use this method on sweat shirts as well. Thank you
Connie Adams ...agree! Would work for sweatshirts too!
You are welcome!
Does It work best to use a particular type of jersey fabric for this? Thanks
no, what matters is that the grain runs parallel to the zipper.
This is great video. Thank you very much.
You are most welcome!
Beauty! Class
Grt idea boss👍
Many many thanks
Great video ! Thank you.

Thank you Valerie!
Greetings Ladies of "Super" So Sew Easy,
You have so many wonderful ideas for Beginners to Advance, that I had to save you as my Favorite and receive emails. You brought back the excitement of creating, mix media, transformation, and etc. Thank you!
Great job. Good idea
Thank you!
See , it's a good thing I didn't cut into my sweater yet I would have never thought of fixing the edges 1st🙈
Great idea🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Why do you need the strips of jersey?
It is easier if you turn the garment inside out. Good idea though.
You should of used a walking foot. If you had, you would of managed to keep the stripes running in a true line instead of being stretched out. Apart from that, if it had been a plain jumper, it would of looked great.
Thank you Elaine, great tip! and you are right! So right!
It's "would have", not "would of", but the walking foot is a great idea.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Remarkable!! Thank you very much .
You are most welcome!
