Sewing post, Altering a Baby OP

Jul 09, 2012 17:57

My friend asked me to change her bttsb Sugar rose Op so it would fit better. We decided together to turn it into a skirt and a bag.

Nice re-do!
I have a skirt that I need to alter the waistband, but I'm too scared of messing it up to take it apart, lol.

Thank you ^^
If you start on your skirt, just remember exactly every step you did, so that if it doesn't work out, you can easily sew it back to how it was. That's how I was taught to take things apart.

That makes sense. I guess even if I messed it up I could take it to my grandmother and tell her "Hey, fix this."

Wow. Looks fantastic! I could never have the courage to take apart a brand dress myself. I barely had the guts to replace the invisible zipper in my BtSSB Lucky Pack JSK!

Thank you,
It was a bit scary, but I have taken very exclusive clothing items apart at my job (I worked as a tailor assistent in an high class old ladies boutique) So it wasn't much different from any other piece of clothing.
Replacing an invisible zipper is tricky though, nice job!

Great job at altering the dress! I am actually thinking of doing the same to a few dresses I hardly ever wear-- it'd be nice to bring some new life back into them!
