Makeover...

I have this sweater that I love, but the neck was too tight...
You know how that is, 
you pull and tug at it the whole time you have it on!
It was either:  give it away or fix it!
So I decided to try and fix it...

The pictures don't show it, but it is the most heavenly shade of pale aqua...

So, I was able to remove the turtle neck part...

This is how it looked when it came off...


I unraveled some of the yarn and put it on a TP roll
to keep it relatively untangled...

I first whip stitched it by hand, with the yarn,
and then to keep the inside seam in place,
I did the running stitch around it. 
This is the front...

The back view...

The new restyled sweater...
Who knew this could be done?
Now I can wear it again!
Do you have any turtlenecks that you could makeover?

'Til next time,  Love ya,  Jean
