There were a few problems. The "buttons" (claws?) immediately started to fall off as soon as I put it on. The sweater was too long and didn't cover my hips at all.
So we need to shorten it and fix the middle.
- fold up the bottom and sew off the excess. now the bottom band has just moved up. And now I don't have to worry about fraying
- then I removed the buttons
- lastly I converted it to v-neck top by overlapping the original middle band. I sewed down one side, across, and then up the other.
Done! A really easy refashion!
Love my new sweater! An easy fix! Perfect for these cold temperatures!
Cheers, (92 left!!)
