Instructions

  1. Small cut out and sew 011 1308180848

    Get a crewneck sweater of your choice. Turn it inside out.

  2. Small cut out and sew 012 1308180878

    Mark a V-neck and the neckline. Cut out the markings.

  3. Small cut out and sew 004 1308180891

    Cut ribbon a little bit longer the length of the sweater sides. The ribbon acts as the hemming.

  4. Small cut out and sew 007 1308180937

    Use the ribbon along any area that has been cut. If you need to pin the ribbon onto the sweater to make it easier to sew.

    After you've done that to each of the cut pieces, make button holes. (There is a function for this on your sewing machine.)

    Now you need to match the buttons up w/ the button holes and sew your buttons on. Its easier to hand sew them obviously. If you need help w/ this, take to google, pretty simple tutorials.
