Buckled jumpers are a trendy and versatile addition to any wardrobe, and creating your own can add a personal touch to your style. In this step-by-step tutorial, we’ll show you how to make a DIY buckled jumper, allowing you to express your creativity and individuality.

Materials

  • Jumper (sweater or sweatshirt)
  • Fabric buckle or belt with a buckle
  • Sewing machine or needle and thread
  • Scissors
  • Measuring tape
  • Pins
  • Seam ripper (optional)

Instructions

  • Step 1: Select your jumper and buckle
    Choose a jumper (sweater or sweatshirt) that fits comfortably and has enough room for the addition of a buckle. Then, select a fabric buckle or a belt with a buckle that complements the jumper’s color and style.
  • Step 2: Determine buckle placement
    Put on the jumper and use the measuring tape to determine the desired placement of the buckle. Consider placing it at the waist or slightly above for a flattering fit. Mark the placement with a pin.
  • Step 3: Attach the buckle
    If you’re using a belt, cut off the excess length, leaving enough fabric to attach to the jumper. Position the buckle on the jumper, aligning it with the pin from Step 2. Pin the buckle in place, ensuring it’s centered and straight.
  • Step 4: Sew the buckle
    Using a sewing machine or needle and thread, carefully sew the buckle to the jumper, following the contours of the buckle. If necessary, use a seam ripper to open a small slit in the jumper’s side seam to accommodate the buckle’s strap.
  • Step 5: Secure the strap (if using a belt)
    If you’re using a belt, fold the cut end of the strap under to create a clean edge. Sew the strap to the jumper’s side seam, making sure it’s securely attached.
  • Step 6: Finishing touches
    Trim any excess threads and try on your newly transformed buckled jumper to ensure the fit is comfortable and flattering.
