Step 1

Take 2 jumpers. One should be a polo neck jumper which will be turned on its side so that the neck opening becomes an arm hole and the bottom of the jumper will become the second arm hole.

Step 2

Cut one side of the garment, to form a new neck opening, from the shoulder seam to about half-way across the body, removing all the sleeve. You can base the distance from the polo neck to the beginning of the new neck opening on the length of a shoulder on an existing garment.

Step 3

Cut the other side of the garment, to make the waist opening. This cut must be a straight line, which will mean that the top part of the sleeve is left on the garment. You can base this measurement on the width of the bottom opening of an existing garment.

Step 4

Try the side way jumper on for size and adjust your cutting as necessary. Remember that it is always better to cut off less than you need at first, as you can always cut more off if you need to.

Step 5

Take the second garment, which will form the bottom part of the finished Side Way Jumper Top and cut a straight line below the sleeves, and discard the top part. Turning the garment inside out afterwards will make the next stage easier.

Step 6

Take the bottom part of the second garment and place it next to the bottom opening you have cut in the first garment. Draw a line on the bottom garment straight down from the edge of the top garment.

Step 7

Cut about 1.5 cm outside of this line. Make sure you leave enough room between the line and the cut edge to sew the fabric.

Step 8

Sew along the line you have just drawn. If you do not have an overlocker, sew a straight line along the line you have drawn and use a zig zag stitch to finish off the edges.
