Re-Purposed Dog Sweater

Make a Large Men's sweater in to a Large Doggie sweater! 

Grandpa's old sweaters never looked so good...not even in the 80's...sorry gramps! I was o-so super lucky to find this sweater in someone's trash on city trash pick up day.

Step 1 Gather Supplies

You will need:

Sewing machine
Large Men's sweater
Ruler
Measuring tape (if you don't have one a piece of ribbon or yarn will do)
Scissors

I love this idea and have been wanting to reuse some sweaters for my dog Gargoyle. Could you explain steps 3 and 4 a bit more? Or maybe even a video link?

hi. sorry i didnt take pics to clarify...so heres my best:

1. folding the sweater helps to find the mid point fr top to bottom
2. measure about 2inches inward from each seam of the sweater top to bottom
3. cut up to the mid section keeping 2 inches away from the seam
4. cut across from side to side to the cut made 2 inches from the seam
5. fold the excess 2 inches over to make a hem

lemme know if that sorts any confusion out! thanks for viewing!
