WOW!  Thank you for showing that thrifting is cool and how easy it can be to make a simple change to make clothes work for your body and style.  I loved the closeup on the handsewing detail at the end. It's the little things that can take a project from good to polished looking.  This was a GREAT tutorial.

I  always learn something from your videos.   I like the tip on hand stitching the rib seam at the bottom.  Ive been sewing a long time and have never done that!   Also I've been picking up tips on how to better use the grid lines on my cutting mat.  Thanks so much, you are one of my top 3 sewing enthusiasts to watch 😁

Thank you for sharing. You made  that look easy. Hopefully it works for me.😊

I am definitely going to try this.  I have several too long sweaters.

It’s called a welt not a knit pear trim.

I got a cardigan as a gift and is way too long so I am going to shorten it . The patch pockets will have the be shortened as well.  Thank you for the tips and tricks😉

What a great thrift up cycle! ❤️👍I was hoping you would get rid of the buckle 😄👍 Great tip with the hand sewn flat stitch -I will definitely try that next time I sew woolly knits!

Thank you

This was very helpful, thanks!! :-)

What does the inside look like? Im thinking about the process after ironing and doing the topstich. I’m asking because I wonder how the seam that you made should lay when you do the topstich 😊

Good job👍

Hi! Did you have to use a jersey or stretch fabric needle or a general purpose needle is sufficient?

Hey Stephanie! Lovely tutorial! I am new to sewing and therefore do not own that many sewing tools, such as a rotary cutter. Would scissors be sufficient enough when trimming the excess length off? Or should I purchase a rotary cutter before attempting to shorten my sweater? Thanks in advance for reading this even though it has been a few years since you uploaded this video!

Hi, Stephanie. I’m coming late to the party, but I have a question: Why not take in the sides first and add the hem after? It seems to me that it might remove the need to stretch the hem band...but maybe I’m missing something?
