Tutorial: Fix for a too tight turtleneck

Tutorial: Fix for a too tight turtleneck

Turtlenecks certainly do a good job of keeping your neck warm (and the cold out), but if they fit snug they kinda make me feel like I’m being choked.  Breath or warmth, it’s a hard choice for a cold natured body like mine.  Jess from The Sewing Rabbit has a solution.  She adds a little gusset to the sides of a purchased turtleneck to give it a little extra breathing room at the neck.  Brilliant!  Use a contrast-y fabric to make the gusset a fun detail.

Altering out-of-date clothing, or clothing that does not fit, is an important part of sustainability because it helps to reduce waste and prolong the life of clothing items. Instead of throwing away clothes that no longer fit or are no longer in style, altering them allows them to be worn again and keeps them out of landfills. Upcycling and reusing clothes also reduces the need for new resources to be used to produce new clothing items, which has a positive impact on the environment.

Altering out-of-date or ill-fitting clothing also allows for personal expression and creativity. By upcycling and reusing clothing items, you can give them a new look and make them unique, which is more sustainable than buying new clothing. This not only reduces the environmental impact of fast fashion, but it also allows you to have a wardrobe that is truly personal and reflective of your own style.

Altering out-of-date clothing can also save you money. By updating your wardrobe with items you already own, you can save money on buying new clothes and reduce your carbon footprint. It is an affordable way to have a sustainable wardrobe.

Altering clothing is an important part of sustainability. It helps to reduce waste, prolong the life of clothing items, and reduce the need for new resources to be used to produce new clothing items. It allows for personal expression, and creativity and is an affordable way to have a sustainable wardrobe. By adopting the practice of altering, upcycling and reusing our clothes, we can make a positive impact on the environment and reduce our own carbon footprint.
