    Such a good video! I bought a vintage cardigan on line. It is made of natural fabric and super well made. But it is two inches too long on the hem and the sleeves. I was just thinking of shorten it. This is exactly what I need. I don't mind a regular hem and it is easier for me! Thanks. Anastasia. By the way, you look good in that polka dot dress.

    The original hem would have made a cute waistband, to cinch the waist. How would we do that?

    • @SewAnastasia
      @SewAnastasia  11 місяців тому +1

      I love that idea. You could put elastic in it & get a clip buckle for it.

    Nice but I would have cut off the red border trim and sewn it at the bottom of the desired length to make it look Original but just Shorter

      joshua martinez yeah you could totally sew back on the rib knit at them hem. I’v done that in some other tutorials & wanted to do something different this time. Thank you for watching 🎀

      Either way would work out great. I prefer a sweater without ribbing on the bottom, it's less "grabby"

    This is very informative! Thank you! Any chance you have a video on how to sew and serge on sweaters that may have an open knit design. I have an old sweater with many larger (dime to quarter in size) holes.

    Thanks for this video. Always thought twice abt cutting a knit sweater. I hv no surger, now to hand stitch that raw edge, so not to come apart. Would that work? Thanks. Great video

    I have a sweater with a pocket and I was thinking to hem through the pocket. Do you think that it would be ok to follow this technique in the same way?

    • @SewAnastasia

      Totally. It will just shorten your pocket bag. Thank you for watching :)

    How do you do an overcast stitch?
    Also thank you for the video💝

    • @SweetTea-Stephens
      @SweetTea-Stephens 3 роки тому +3

      Your machine should have an overcast stitch (unless it’s a super super basic machine). I’d check your manual and see which overcast stitch your machine has. Then you just sew down the raw edge and it’ll do the stitch (sort of if you were to do a zigzag stitch down the raw edge). It looks like the serge stitch you saw in this video.

    • @SewAnastasia
      @SewAnastasia  3 роки тому +1

      დAnu Kaliდ it looks like a ladder with the right side missing the vertical line or one could say it’s a straight stitch with horizontal lines intersecting it. Have fun sewing!

    how do you change a chunky wool turtleneck sweater into a cardigan? i bought that sweater at thrift store but when it's arrived, it's to big for me.. i want to turn it into a cardigan, like want to look like an oversize cardigan but i didn't know how..

    • @SewAnastasia

      Great idea! I think I should do a video on it. Give me a month.
      Or, if you want, you can sign up for a virtual sewing class with me at sewanastasia.com and we can knock that project out ASAP! Let's get creative!

    Could I hand-stitich the hem instead? I am extremely good with hand work, but terrible at doing a blind stitch on my machine. What you you think?

  • @hollietuckwell8469
    @hollietuckwell8469 2 роки тому +1

    Thank you for the video but a whole step was missing? Once you pinned the hem you skipped the step where you folded the hem back on itself. I had to rewatch a few times to see what you had done there. Please explain a little clearer for first timers. I found that quite confusing even though it turned out to be quite simple. Great videos though 👍
