      Same here. I went from a XL to a S.
      A donated a great part of my old clothes but what is left has a story, I would like to keep them.

    This is extremely helpful. Got a floral skirt that I liked but is huge and need to resize it. Now I have more knowledge on how to do it thanks to your demo. Really appreciate it.

    Why have I never thought to buy a skirt too big and altering it?!? 😄 I will definitely look more carefully when thrift shopping.

    • @sewaldodiy
      @sewaldodiy  3 роки тому +1

      You should, but sure that the waistband is really simple. This is the type of waistband I look for. The jean skirt ones are super complicated to alter.

    I sewed a beautiful jean skirt and the waist is waaaay to big. This should work fine for my alteration because it has a waistband. Thanks a million!

    Wow, thank you for this I will surely give this a try. I am just wondering how I can create the A-line shape without the ruler. Do you have any ideas?

    • @sewaldodiy
      @sewaldodiy  Рік тому

      Yes get a long rectangle piece of paper. Width is quarter length of your waistline, then your desired length. Slash and fan the hem it by 2 inches apart. Be sure to not cut it all the to the waistline. Just fan it out and you will get an A-line shape pattern. I hope it makes sense what I mean.

    Aldo buenas, Dios te bendiga.
    Sorprendente y definitavente hay que aprender porque así se ahorra.
    Que número de aguja utilizó?
    Me imagino que con el otro pedazo sobrante ha de hacerle algo a su princesa.

      Muchas gracias, espero y oro para que su familia esté a salvo del huracán Irma. De todos modos, usé una aguja para tela de mezclilla. No sé cuál es el número. No puedo esperar a que veas para qué he usado el tejido restante. ¡Será el próximo lunes! ¡Mucho amor de Tejas!

      Gracias6 Aldo por sus oraciones, no sabía era de Tejas y están pasando por una prueba fuerte mis mejores deseos y bendiciones.
      Le diré que soy del sur de la isla y recibimos menos impacto.
      El noreste y las islas de Culebra y Vieques si tuvieron in fuerte impacto del Huracan. Hay personas sin luz y agua y aparentemente estarán así in tiempito pero el gobierno a hecho un excelente trabajo.
      Para el sur van y vienen los sercicios. Pero Amén que estamos bien y vivos para dar gracias a Dios.
      Y ya espero el lunes.
      Bendiciones para usted y toda su familia.

    I suggest that when you say "do the same to the other side" that you don't need to show us a second time. That gets boring. Good otherwise😊
