Jumper alterations
Whether they're made from wool or cotton, our jumpers need softness too.
Find out here how to adjust, customise or transform your sweaters thanks to Tilli's alteration services.
Adjust the size of your jumper
If you've fallen for a jumper that's a little too large, you should know that it's possible to readjust its size.
Depending on its material and cut, the alterations may be different but most of the time, the tailor will go through the side seams to come in and decrease or increase the size.
Be aware, however, that the room for manoeuvre is not always easy. The hem can be used to enlarge a size or add an extra piece of fabric.
By adjusting the waist, there's also a good chance that the shoulders will be taken up.
Add some pretty elbow pads
Whether on men's or women's jumpers, elbow pads are a typical detail on our beloved sweaters. They add singularity and style, depending on the fabric chosen.
Elbow pads can also hide wear holes.Easy to sew, they'll give your jumper a second life.
Change the collar of your jumper
On a turtleneck that's a little out of date, you might consider a change to something more bare, like a plunging neckline.
This will of course depend on the material of your jumper and its construction. But you should know that this type of modification is perfectly feasible.
It's also possible to customise a collar with embroidery work as we did when making the Swarovski pearl bib collar. The result is gorgeous and the jumper then becomes a great fashion piece.
Repair the holes in your jumper
There are different ways of repairing a hole in a jumper.
For a small hole, you'll simply need to sew it up delicately.
For larger holes, you might consider adding a patch or patch of fabric that will cover the entire surface concerned. You can easily play around with fabrics to customise an entire jumper and give it a new style.
