Some clothes that needed alterations: trousers that were too tight on the elastic, a bodysuit to be cut into a vest, a vest that was too wide underarms, a jumper dress to be made into a jumper and a hoodie that needed to have removed its hood.

A project that I've done recently: a jumpsuit that needed to be shortened and a lined blazer that needed to be taken in on the side seams and sleeves plus to adjust the width of the shoulder seam- for sure not the easiest or fastest project 🙂

As you already know my day to day job is not leaving me much time for my passion - sewing. But when you love something as much as I do with sewing, you certainly find the time for it. So here are some clothes alterations that I've done but didn't have the time to post it 🙂. Denim jacket, jeans, tops, blazer, coat, sweatshirts....you name it 😁🙈💪💪💪

In order to alter this dress, first I had to remove all the lace from the hem and the lace from the underarms, then to actually work on taking in on the sides of the bodice, readjusting the neckline(front and back) and shortening the skirt....and yes, about the skirt part...this dress's skirt was made out of 8 layers of fabric!!! YES...8 layers, a very meticulous job to ensure that all 8 layers are even . In the end, there were 47m of hem fabric thst I had to go through ☺️!
After all the alteration were done, I had to stitch back the lace both on the bodice and on the hem. I also used the leftover lace to add more on the back of the bodice in order to make the bra straps not visible as hey...comfort is the more important thing on your big day, isn't it ?!😁

I want to share with you one of my complex projects for this summer! A wedding dress that needed some alterations in order to fit my client perfectly: both front and back neckline was too loose, also it needed to be taken in on the side seams of the bodice(underarms) and shortening the skirt part! With lace appliques all over the bodice and at the hemline of the skirt, this was definitely a very time consuming but I must admit that I've really enjoyed it !!!
In the next post I'll talk you through all the alteration process so stay tuned 😉

A dress that needed to be made bigger on the top part ! I've added some "V" shaped fabric on the underarms,to make it fit perfectly on the customer. Luckily, the customer managed to find another same dress in order for me to make a smooth alteration and keep it in the same style as this was the request as a bridesmaid .
