Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.43,0:00:03.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is a box, in the corner of my sewing\Nroom.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:03.62,0:00:07.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is a box whose contents have not seen the\Nlight of day for many a month.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.42,0:00:10.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Many crafters will be familiar with this box,\Nin all of its forms:
Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.65,0:00:14.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There’s the ever-growing amorphous lump\Nthat lies underneath your desk…
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.59,0:00:18.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The monster underneath your bed…\NThe stuff you vacuum-packed in a fit of organization
Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.73,0:00:21.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and stuffed into your garage in the hopes\Nthat you’d never have to deal with it again…
Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.94,0:00:25.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This, my friends, is the UNFINISHED SEWING\NPILE!
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.64,0:00:38.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The item that I pulled out of the box today…\Nwell, I actually did a bit of digging through
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.05,0:00:42.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the box because I wanted to find a particular\Nitem that was right at the bottom – is this!
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.80,0:00:49.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A plain, beige cardigan. It’s not a particularly\Ninteresting – or flattering – item, and
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.04,0:00:52.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it’s also missing a button down the bottom.\NBut, I really like the colour and I think
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.65,0:00:55.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that it could definitely be turned into something\Ncuter.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.04,0:00:59.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,SO the first thing I wanted to do was to change\Nthe length. As you may have noticed by now,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.14,0:01:03.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I really like cropped stuff.\NSo first, to crop the cardigan, I sliced off
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.24,0:01:04.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the bottom with my rotary cutter.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.84,0:01:09.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, on this bit that I sliced off, you’ll\Nnotice how the knits are a bit different – it’s
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.45,0:01:13.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all ribbed along the bottom here, and I want\Nto keep that ribbing for my new cardigan.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.70,0:01:17.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, with this sliced off bit unfolded, I cut\Nthe ribbing off.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.61,0:01:21.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And now I’m going to attach this to the\Nbottom of my cardigan as a quick way to deal
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.50,0:01:22.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the raw edges.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.33,0:01:27.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I place the ribbing onto the cardigan,\Nright sides together, with this original BOTTOM
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.27,0:01:31.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the cardigan pointing UP.\NAnd then, I pin it on, making sure to match
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.36,0:01:39.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,up the side seams on both the pieces.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.34,0:01:45.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then, once it’s all pinned on, I sew\Nthe new bottom of the cardigan on like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.30,0:01:49.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To sew the two pieces together, I’m using\Nmy overlocker – also called a serger – mainly
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.53,0:01:53.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I’m working with a knitted fabric\Nand I don’t want the knit to unravel!
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.41,0:01:57.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Zigzag stitches on a regular machine would\Nwork okay, but it would be wise to use a very
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.23,0:02:01.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,short zig zag stitch over each raw edge first\Nto prevent any unraveling of the knitted material.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.77,0:02:08.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Also – to finish off my serger seams, I\Nusually just use a zig zag stitch over the
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.62,0:02:12.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ends and this stops them from unraveling.\NHowever there are other methods to finish
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.20,0:02:17.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,off serger seams, and I want to know – what\Nmethod do you guys use when overlocking?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.05,0:02:21.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Anyway – now cropped, the cardigan looks\Nlike this! Which is much more to my style.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.69,0:02:25.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now it’s time for some granncy chic embroidery!\NI recently learned a really quick and easy
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.67,0:02:30.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,way to embroider roses thanks to this blog,\NKmac-DIY – an embroidery goddess whose technique
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.74,0:02:34.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I am reproducing here with her permission!\NAnd just by the way, her blog is also full
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.60,0:02:38.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of other really cool embroidery techniques\Nand DIYs for beginners, and I highly recommend
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.68,0:02:39.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,checking it out!
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.93,0:02:44.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, to embroider these roses, the first thing\Nthat I did was pick out my colours – 3 reds
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.29,0:02:45.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and a green for leaves!
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.81,0:02:50.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, using this washable fabric marker, I\Ndrew 3 small circles on each side arranged
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.82,0:02:55.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,around the neckline. It’s hard to see the\Nlines with the camera – but they’re there!
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.41,0:02:58.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The three circles that I drew onto the cardigan\Nlook like this!
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.21,0:03:02.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, I put my embroidery hoop onto one side\Nof the cardigan, with the 3 circles in the
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.70,0:03:06.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,middle of hoop – or, about as close to the\Nmiddle as I could get them!
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.68,0:03:11.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, I’m going to draw 5 lines radiating\Nout from the middle of the circle like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.68,0:03:20.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Next, with my embroidery thread and needle,\NI brought it up through the back like this,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.02,0:03:28.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and back down at the centre of the circle,\Ncreating a straight line.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.28,0:03:33.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then I repeated this for the other 4 lines!
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.56,0:03:45.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Next, I brought my needle up HERE, in between\Ntwo of these radiating lines.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.62,0:03:50.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The next step is really easy. I’m going\Nto simply bring my needle over the top of
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.09,0:03:54.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the adjacent stitch, and then under the next\Nstitch, in an anti-clockwise way.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.52,0:04:08.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I'm going to repeat this. I’m going to go over\Nthis stitch, and under this stitch.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.44,0:04:21.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then over this stitch, under this stitch...
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.82,0:04:31.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Basically, I’m going to keep repeating this, in an anticlockwise manner, with the threads moving\Noutwards from the centre, until I’ve gone
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.12,0:04:33.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,around enough times to create a rose!
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.64,0:04:53.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To finish it off, I simply brought the thread\Nto the back again, and then tied a knot – or,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.33,0:04:57.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a couple of knots, because the knitted material\Nis quite gapey and I don't want the knot to
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.89,0:05:00.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,go back through to the front, and then I cut\Noff the excess thread.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.12,0:05:09.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I repeated this for the other two circles I drew onto the cardigan, in my two different colours!
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.06,0:05:14.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Next, to embroider the leaves, I drew on a\Nleaf shape with my fabric marker, and then
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.69,0:05:20.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I used a satin stitch to fill the shapes in,\Nfrom the edge to the halfway mark. Now I explained
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.40,0:05:25.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how to do a satin stitch in this video here,\Nbut basically I brought my needle up at the
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.32,0:05:39.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,edge of the shape, then back down at the other\Nside, and then I brought it up again next
Dialogue: 0,0:05:39.02,0:05:45.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to that straight line stitch I just made,\Nthen I continued this, up one side of the
Dialogue: 0,0:05:45.44,0:05:51.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,leaf and down the other, until the entire\Nleaf shape was filled in like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:51.34,0:05:57.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, I repeated this whole design onto the\Nother side of the cardigan’s neckline, and
Dialogue: 0,0:05:57.27,0:05:59.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I’m done!
Dialogue: 0,0:06:10.72,0:06:15.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This cardigan has been totally transformed\N– from a simple, unflattering beige cardigan
Dialogue: 0,0:06:15.61,0:06:18.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to a cute, vintage-inspired, cropped and embroidered\Nnumber!
Dialogue: 0,0:06:18.95,0:06:24.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It’s very what I like to call "Granny Chic",\Na style I am very fond of, and I think that
Dialogue: 0,0:06:24.69,0:06:29.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it goes really well with high waisted skirts\Nand shorts and dresses, buttoned up like this,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:29.56,0:06:31.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or left open like this!
