This video was extremely helpful! I cut and cropped a sweater earlier today and had no clue what I was going to do to the new fraying hem! I used my serger and it turned out so much better than I thought it would. I am thinking I will probably hand stitch the serged edges down on the inside so it lays flatter after pressing some, but otherwise it is so great! Thank you!

Thanks Anastasia! Love it. 😀💖 I so enjoy how you explain each step of the process as you plan it out, and say it all again as you do each part of the project. Very kind of you. ❤💕💖💕❤ I have a puff sleave "way too long on me" cream coloured sweater, that I have been planning on cropping to "my fit". I love the excess fabric used as a scarf/ turtle neck. That's what I was thinking of doing also. I am going to "trim/tailor the sides in", as well, when I crop my sweater. (We call them "jumper" in Australia/England) We call surger "over-locker", down here in Australia... for any of your southern hemisphere viewers. Thanks again.

@@SewAnastasia I found your other video without the serger so I will use that method. Question... my sweater is ivory and cashmere with a small knit weave , so no designs or crazy knitted pattern. The stain is a bit too high as it's right below the bust by 1 inch and would be shorter than I prefer if I did a 1 inch hem. I may have to give it a 4-5 inch hem after measuring it which would create a seam line 1 inch under the bust but the crop would hit at the belly button. Would this look awful 😖? LOL Curious what you think about this long hem if the seam line would ruin the look... i guess it would be like an empire waisted cropped sweater? Interested in your response. If it's better to do it shorter I could later it over a dress. Thanks for your help Anastasia!! I subscribed and I need to get back into a sewing class. You're very sweet and inspiring!!

I have an amazing vintage sweater that has some holes that I am wanting to do this with. I don't have a Serger but will give it a try with a regular machine. Thanks for the video ❤️

Yes, a straight stitch on the side where you will have the new hem or on both pieces if rejoining a decorative hem after shortening. If it's a thick knit, use a little longer stitch so it doesn't bunch up. You could also hand sew a running stitch. Sometimes it is easier to maintain an even hem with all hand sewing especially with a cable or decorative knit. Hope this is helpful. @@pamgroom7117

On a thinner knit, a stitch every 1/4 inch might work. If you have some scraps or even some old knee socks you could practice before sewing your knit top. I hope this helps!

Do you think it’s possible to do a video on how to put an elasticated waist in a jumper dress? Or add denim pockets to the back of a denim shirtdress. I was thinking couldn’t I just cut the back pockets from some old jeans and then sew them on the back? It’s purely for aesthetic purposes lol I’m not a sample size so I often have to customise my clothes. Could you show us how to take two of the same dresses and use one to make the other more appropriate I.e using the material for length or an under skirt. A lot of stuff I have is very short so I was thinking to to buy twice and then add where I need to. I also like the idea of adding things like a peplum to enhance shape etc. I’ve basically bought two of the same dresses because it was very see through and short and I’m hoping to create a better version lol Both dresses were on sale so it was worth it especially if I end up with a deress that fits my body shape and height perfectly ❤xxxx
