This was a lovely brown merino jumper of the Bread Winner’s that had moth holes in the cuff and collar. Far too nice to throw out so I cut a much larger neckline to remove the holes and shortened the arms to my length. The neckline is now like a boat neck but comes down in a V in front. I zigzagged the edge heavily before cutting and bound in a remnant of a green floral quilting fabric. I added a fuzzy brown vintage button at the base of the V just for fun.
The neck is a little wider than ideal but certainly wearable. Not much I could do about that though, the placement of moth holes dictated neck width.
The original jumper. A little hard to see but it had a polo style collar.
And now
