Another drastic sweater size reduction


I've shown you before how to take in the side seams of a lightweight sweater and a chunkier sweater.  Here's my method in action again!

On this one I did try it on inside out and nip it in with pins. I took in the whole side seam, all the way from near the edge of the cuffs up the arms, turning at the shoulder seam and back down the bust/waist/hips.

I got this cute sweater (not even old, from Holiday '09) from Banana Republic at Goodwill Outlet, since I love grey and I love long sweaters.  It was two sizes two big, however.  I wore it once as a cozy sweatshirt-type look, but didn't feel that cute.  So I took it in!  The before:
And the after!
Muuuuch better!
