| I don’t know what it is with me and pictures but I’m not the best at it. I look mad in this one. But the sweater turned out cute. |
 |
| Before: plain blah sweater. |
 |
| After laying out my sweater as flat as possible I buttoned it up and measured up 8in. from the bottom and marked it with dressmaker chalk. |
 |
| I placed some blue painters tape across my marking so I could cut the sweater without it wanting to fray on me. |
 |
| The extra piece I cut off the bottom of the sweater I used to make a ruffle around the bottom edge. To make a ruffle all you need to do is set your sewing machine to the longest stitch length possible and stitch up the edge about 1/2 inch in. Then when finished you will pull up on your thread to gather. I made my gathers very loose because there wasn’t much fabric to work with and I still wanted that continuous look to the sweater but with a little something to it. I sure hope that makes sense. I was able to taper the ends of the sweater up so it would have a round flow to the sweater. Where it was longer in the back than the front. |
 |
| I also overlocked the seam of the ruffle and sweater so it wouldn’t ravel on me. |
 |
| Was able to make another contrasting ruffle in black to go around the hood and down the front edge . For some extra pizazz. |
 |
| Finished sewing the ruffle up the front edge and done. New re-vamped black and white sweater, for the better. LOL. |

| Love it!
