Alteration Tah-Dah!!


Hello there, How is everyone?? 
All I have to say is 
TGIF!!!!

It has been a hectic but productive week.

To add to my Alterations, a sequins dress... The shoulder straps were 1-2 inches to long and  the gathers needed sorted, they were ruining the hem line. It was all uneven.


To be honest it seemed a little daunting.... But when I took the seam ripper to it, it wasn't that scary at all.



I had to do a gradual seam so that the arm hole wasn't too small, but the support was still there for the chest....



There were lots of fiddly bits....

BUT



Tad-Dah
Here she is all fixed up!



A wee close up.....



And the other shoulder....

**********

The skirt was way easier, just a couple of stay stitches to sort out the hem line...




so there we have it a scary project... Not so scary when there is a little confidence on the burner!!!

I just received a text that said that

"It fits like a glove, Thanx so much"

I am a happy Traci

Here's to having a little confidence!!

Have you taken the leap on a project lately??
