Hello, yes, I am keeping up with bridal alterations. I am not overloaded at the moment which is nice. It gives me time for family and my garden. Thank you for this tutorial!❤
That is wonderful! It’s so nice to have “just enough” work and still have time for family and the garden. Thank you so much for your comment and for watching!! ❤️
For beading, I took a picture frame and glued black fleece to one side of the glass, and white fleece to the other side, then secured the glass into the frame. The edges of the frame hold the beads in, and the fleece stops them from rolling around on the surface.
I am keeping up with bridal alterations but keep thinking I am behind. I wonder if we are wired that way and/or many years of feeling that makes us stay in that mode when in this season. I also am more choosey on what jobs I am taking this year.
I think you might be right. It’s a habit of feeling behind. Im going to be thinking about that all week. Lol 😂 Am I really behind or am I just feeling behind?
Can I do a video on taking in the hip on a gown ? I just did a “crepe illusion “ from DB. The side seam was a stinker! It has a slit done the middle. I tried to do a video. But I have to review it to see if it makes sense!!
11:04 Hi I wanted to know what exactly removed the beading because I saw you used a tool then I saw you just pulling them off. And how do you not ruin the material when doing so, what if you just have access to the bead from the front on the dress and not through/behind? 🙂
Hello ❤️ Sorry for the delay. I have been on a trip and out of cell phone range. At the 11:04 mark I was removing the excess beads. The beads were sewn on a continual piece of thread. So once I broke the thread they slid off easily, until I got to the next knot. I only had access to the front so I could just clip (with a seam ripper) the thread and not puncture the lace. For beads that are on a tulle (netting) strap, they usually have the beads beaded on a removable piece of netting. In that case you don’t remove the beads individually, but you look for the removable part that is hand sewn to the actual strap. That should peel back and allow you to alter the strap, then sew back. I will try to find one to video. Thank you so much for watching! And thank you for your great question. -Christa
@@debbiewelch3072 when doing hems I prefer to make the back just a little longer even if they don’t want a train. I will usually make it a few finger spaces longer than the floor. Just for a nice sweep.

Great work Christa. I have just finished tiny tiny beads on a dress. Just as well I have my magnifying lamp 😃
Thank God for magnifying lamps!!! I need one soon!! Lol right now I just get more and more powerful glasses. 😂

Elizabeth, this is brilliant!!! I’m going to copy this. Thank you so so much. 😘 You are a blessing.

That’s awesome! I bet it’s great. Can’t wait to see it. I’ll try to watch for it.
Crepe illusion is a pain. I bet you did a great job.

Making four mini prom dresses from floor lengths. How much longer shall I cut the back than the front?
Are you asking about straps like in this video, or hems with a small back train?
Hems only. Thank you for asking.

@@debbiewelch3072 you are soooo welcome! Let me know how they go! ❤️
