DISCLAIMER!!! I'm really not a fantastic seamstress- never been schooled in the area or anything, but I do know how to thread my machine and run pieces through it so that they stay together-ish. That being said, I don't really measure, or cut straight or have patience, or any remnants of the OCD I thought I had (with 2 kids, I'm lucky if I have enough energy to brush my teeth everyday, so why waste it on measuring??)...so if you are a real "sew-er" you may want to opt out on viewing any of my sewing tutorials, as they may look somewhat to you, as what I imagine a lamb being slaughtered might look like to a vegetarian.
That being said, here is my remake of a baby jersey/sweater into a vest. I adore this little sweater, so was really bummed when Asher outgrew it. And so the old man sweater has now become the old man vest! Heres how:
 |
| Lay sweater flat. |
 |
| Snip off sleeves, including the seam. Save sleeves for later as I think I may have another project in the works for those! |
 |
| Pin the ends inside. |
 |
| Sew down and ... |
 |
| done! |
 |
| Add a baby and you are good to go! |
 |
| So cute, I know! |
 |
| Next time I would overlap the sleeves a bit so that they aren't so gaping. |
Love and cuteness,
Kerry the Momster
