The before shot
I cut along the center and added some extra fabric to attach the zippers to trying to follow the logic of this craftsters post
this is the sweater with the fabric added. where my sweater is different that the shirt demonstrated in the link, which i am trying to demonstrate in the picture is that you can pinch a roll of fabric along the center. most of my zip of sweaters have that so i thought i would try it.
this picture is showing how the length of the zipper was just a bit too long so i just hand stitched over it a bunch of times i link under where i wanted to just it off. I think the zipper package usually gives directions. my scissors were not being friendly this night so that's what i did. make sure you cut an even/level amount off each side
the cut edge!
close-ish up shot on the top.
close up on the bottom. which could use some finessing but that's for another night.
I also added pockets. final desired size was 5x5 inches so i cut 6x6 inch squares and put them about inch from the zipper and 2.5 inches from bottom.
