If the item is well preserved, and you just tired of the model, try repurposing an old sweater into a cardigan. To do this, cut the sweater at the center front and gradually cut off the collar. Pick a knitted tape or a suitable contrasting color panel and hem, front slit, collar (a solid line). In addition, just finish the sleeves and sew a drawstring or buttons – you will receive an original fashionable cardigan from an old sweater.

If you like the model in the style of "Bolero", among other things, cut the lower part of the sweater so that it was barely covering her Breasts. Then smoothen the edges with ribbon, fringe or piping.

Inspect the hoses, if they are stretched and do not look important, cut them together with the armhole. Of the remaining double cloth stitch fitted skirt. To do this measure your hips, waist, divide in half and mark on the sweater. Trim the excess edges carefully and sew, fold the top edge and the pass band. Sure frayed edges as knitwear, particularly knit very easily dissolved and allow the "arrows".
