I don't know about you but I just don't like turtlenecks. I feel like its chocking me and it makes my face look fat and makes my double chin come out....maybe I shouldn't told you that....anyway.....let's make a turtleneck into a round collar.
You should try it on....kinda see how high/ low you want your color......take it off....lay it on a flat surface.
Take a piece of chalk and draw on the fabric where you want the collar to be....remember to add the SEAM in your measurements!
Now carefully cut it out with your fabric scissors.
Turn the shirt INSIDE OUT and pin the seam down....do not stretch it just fold it down.
Now sew it...I have a knit here and it is important to let the machine run it through and not to pull or you will have weird ruffles.
Turtleneck to Head band
Cut the neck part of ...nice and even.
Fold it three times....viola!
Any here is my end product....I love layering and this is just perfect!
Do you like turtlenecks?
Do you have a turtleneck that needs to be refashioned?
Cute! I have a turtleneck top that I've been wanting to turn into a boatneck.
ReplyDeleteOooooo....when you do you will have to post it on the blog! So we all can see. ☺
DeleteI feel the same way about turtlenecks and even some high-necked crew necks! I can't stand to have anything touching my neck for an extended period of time, or it'll drive me crazy. :P I love this idea--it looks adorable as a scoop neck top! I also really like the way you finished the neckline.

I don't like crew necks either. I will be refashioning a crew neck XL t shirt I have into something cute this week....
DeleteIf you do a refashion you will have to show it on the blog!
Oh wow, you did such a good job with this! I want to get into a doing up and refashioning clothes but I am just not sure that I have the skills. Also, green looks great on you :)
ReplyDeleteYesterday I did a nightshirt into a normal top.....it got pretty intense at times but I'd go for it! You are crafty! Just take something....have a general idea and just go along and you cut and sew. Its really fun....
DeleteI'll be putting that up on the blog soon. ☺
Oh wow!!!! I really hate turtlenecks....i never wear them and i also don't like tank tops that touch my collar bone or t shirts that reach my neck....i guess i am picky when it comes to shirts...i looove to sew so that refashioning will be really fun to do with some turtlenecks that i find at the Thrift Store.....thanks!!!-Leah
ReplyDeleteDon't like anything touching my neck either....I am into refashioning right now. Did another shirt yesterday and have at least two more I have planned....and a few more shirts I am trying to figure out what to do with. ☺
DeleteSome turtlenecks are so cute...so now we'll get them and make 'em so we'll love 'em! :D

I, too am a turtleneck hater. I may just have to hit the thrift stores to get a turtle neck to cut up :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and commenting on my blog- I love to hear that a post has been enjoyed. I DO hope you will keep fostering in the back of your mind and maybe someday it will be the right time. All the best!
There are so many awesome shirts that are turtle necks...I have a few in my closet. I love the colors and soon I will love the shirt. he he
DeleteFostering will definitely be something I will consider one day.
Very cute - I like the layered look!
