Two ways to alter a dress | Sew with me #sewing
#sewinghack #dressmaking
Hi Loves,
I thought I would share two ways to alter a dress to make it fit better, with and without sewing. Although the first option isn't the best it will still help if you're in a pickle!

    I really like the headband, it looks great. My friend has asked me to make her one and i am wondering whether to add interfacing to the main piece. Do you think that would help keep it flat on the head or would it make it too bulky? Thanks

    • @melissanelsonhandmade
      @melissanelsonhandmade 22 дні тому

      @katgle2925 that's great. No, you definitely don't need to use interfacing. The headband sits flat. But if you want to or you use a really thin cotton it could help but it's definitely not a must have. Good luck 🙂

    I'm looking forward to seeing how you make it, but it is so distracting that you keep referring to your friend, one person, as they. I don't know if I will want to continue...It's nice of you to make it for your friend, and nice for you to make a video. I just thought I would give you some unsolicited feedback. Some of us are sensitive to the woke-speak, especially when it is said over and over. You may not have even noticed that you kept saying it. You get to choose how you talk, of course, I just wanted to mention it in case you care.

    • @melissanelsonhandmade
      @melissanelsonhandmade Місяць тому

      Thanks for your feedback certainly didn't noticed I was saying it. I was referring to my friend as they and them because I didn't want my friend to know it was for him as the video went up before I saw him again. I wanted the fabric choice to be a surprise. I ended up making a couple for him and his wife. Referring to my friend as them/they has nothing to do with the woke community and I'm sorry if that offended you in anyway. Sorry the video may not be enjoyable for you to watch and I'll be more mindful of repeating words. Thank you 😊

    • @melissanelsonhandmade
      @melissanelsonhandmade 6 місяців тому

      That's amazing. Definitely grab yourself some cheaper fabrics to just play around with. Normally, 1.5-2cm is good for a seam allowance. For scrunchies, I normally do 1-1.5cm
