Learning To Do Dress Alterations

By Sandra Nixon

It was fabulous the day I finally reached my goal of losing fifty pounds. I know there are many other people who have lost lots more but, this was my goal. I have to get some dress alterations done to a few of my articles of clothing.

I can thread a needle and that is as far as I can take sewing. My mother even tried to help me to learn all the various stitches and procedures. For some strange reason, I could not grasp these directions with my brain. I feel awkwardly hopeless.

Obviously, if you can not alter your own clothing, it is a good idea to find someone who can. Ask friends and relatives to share with you the people who do adjustments for them. You will need to have dresses taken in and probably shortened.

I have found that you can find information about people who sew through your local dry cleaner. Many people who use the services of dry cleaners have to find someone who will mend their clothes. So, this is an excellent place to start.

But, I have learned to do things my way. I do like to save money. I do not like to spend money on frivolous things. I thought being able to sew might save a couple bucks for me. I know I will mess up anything I sew so, I simply found a reputable tailor.

Any way, whether you have lost weight, received clothing second hand, or simply need some altering done, find a reputable seamstress. Any time your clothes do not fit as you want, this may make you not wear them at all. No need to waste your hard earned money. Save the cash and get the alterations done. - 30408
