DIY: QUICK 5-MIN. DRESS ALTERATION | How to Alter Your Own Clothes

August 3, 2017~ SEWING

 

 

Welcome to refashion revision where I take outdated clothes and turn it into new. I’m Sarah and I’ve been refashioning for 10 years on my blog called Our Life is Beautiful.

This week’s episode is a simple alteration on taking a size small dress into size extra small. One awesome thing about knowing how to sew  is that even if it doesn’t fit you right in the dressing room, you can still buy it and take it home to make it right! So you should learn to sew! 😉

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BEFORE

 

 

AFTER

 

 

What you’ll need:

  • A larger dress
  • thread
  • Thread
  • Scissors

Flip the dress inside out, then sew the sides from the arm hole to the waistband.

And you are done! here’s the before and the after. I couldn’t find my nude color top to wear underneath but that’s how I plan on wearing it.

 

Do you like this music? I’ve listened to your advice about my music being quiet terrible, they were free so my options were limited but now I will have better music since I am now purchasing the music. Yay! Thank you for your suggestions and input!

Estimated time: 7 minutes

Budget: $0

Skill level: A beginner

You might have noticed my DIY’s being very simple lately, the reason being is my dad is not doing well, he had a stroke on the 4th of July and has been in the hospital ever since, he’s back in the ICU(Intensive Care Unit) for the 2nd time, so thank you for your patience as my Youtube is just not my highest priority but I have awesome DIY’s lined up for you so thank you so much for sticking around!
