Holis bienvenido a mi blog💗. /Hi, welcome to my blog💗.
In this new segment of sewing and clothing transformations that I have been doing lately, I will be giving a different change to this sweater that I already had stored in my wardrobe and that although the model looked good I didn't like very much, I wasn't convinced by how it looked.
I'm going to give it a completely different makeover, so today I decided to get to work. I sat down on the couch and immediately went to look at more and more ideas on Pinterest and some pins I had saved to see how I could transform the collar of my sweater. There were so many ideas, but I was inspired by some really cute ones. Look at these here; I was fascinated by them. In the image, we can see several models with little bows, and I think they look so cute, so I was inspired by them to transform my sweater.
Sometimes I feel like I have two personalities in one because I love black as my main color, especially in clothing, and I also really like pink, so sometimes I mix both colors and garments. I feel like it gives a dark and kawaii touch to the outfits. These models are really cute, so much so that I wanted to have them all.
If you love transformations, you're going to love this tutorial! Don't miss a single detail of my process; we'll give this sweater a beautiful makeover 🧥💗✨.

Paso 01
Step 01
You see, the first thing I did was take my sweater and unpick the embroidered part of the collar. It was clear that it was sewn or knitted with a different white thread than the pink thread my sweater was knitted with, so with the help of the thread cutter/seam ripper, I cut the pieces of thread all the way to the other end. This part was easy for me since the thread felt very soft; it seemed like overlock thread. The idea I had in mind was to transform the collar, that is, to cut the front part into a semi-round shape and cut off the embroidery, which I thought was very pretty, so I didn't want to throw it away and put it back on. So I removed the remaining threads from the collar and the embroidery to clean these pieces before sewing them.
Paso 02
Step 02
Once I've cleaned the excess yarn from the pieces, you can see that I have them like this. I'm going to cut the neck semi-round as I mentioned, and of course, since my knitted edge was very large, what I did was cut it at the bottom right where we unstitched it, cutting 3 cm wide with scissors.
Paso 03
Step 03
For the next step, we'll join the knitted edge with a straight stitch and overlock stitch to form the collar. Don't forget to sew along the edge with a zigzag stitch and overlock stitch to prevent the threads of my knitted sweater's edge from unraveling. As we sew along the edge, we'll gently pull it taut so it doesn't get pressed when we sew it to the collar. Following this, we'll sew the edge to the outside of the collar and turn it inside out. We'll pull it taut a little, and that's how the collar of our sweater is now positioned. I really think it looks much nicer now than it did before.
Paso 04
Step 04
After sewing the collar and reinforcing it well inside so that the thread doesn't break when stretched, we're going to sew on the little bows. Before that, I wanted to take in this sweater a little more since it was too loose; it was a size larger than my usual size. So I decided to take in 1 cm more; that's all it needed. We'll be taking the ribbon—in this case, I bought a pale pink one that looks great—and I'll be cutting 12 cm of ribbon. We'll make three little bows. In this case, I made three because I put one in the middle of the collar and three on each sleeve/front. If you only want to put one, you can; it all depends on your taste, dear friends. And that's how it looks finished.

This way the sweater is completely transformed! I really loved how it turned out with that simple, flirty style that I feel never goes out of fashion, and you can combine it with any bottom, whether it's a skirt, pants, shorts, or a miniskirt. I absolutely loved it! 💗🥰 I hope you do too. Hugs and don't forget to share!
