I’m in need of some suggestions for altering a top that I made a while ago. I love the way the top fits, but my issue is with the neckline; it’s about an inch too large all the way around and I’m not really sure how to go about adjusting it. I’ve been thinking of adding some kind of draping across the front, maybe, but that doesn’t really fix the wideness in the shoulders. Any ideas?

I’ve got 2 embroidery wips I gotta finish soon
I’ve got a crochet gift that’s not done
I have fabric to cut for my project
Holes to mend on everything
There’s that jacket I’m improving
That witch hat I gotta sew lace onto
That dress I wanna alter
Pants I have to fix
I gotta re-hem that thing
Patches I still haven’t done anything with
Oh I could finish that dress I was sewing!
That old embroidery I never finished
Did I do any of that? Did I even touch them? Did I even do something non craft related! Was I productive for once? Or did I go and decide to start a new project and crochet something I’ve never done before?
I want you to guess.
You get 3 tries and 2 of them don’t count
After sewing and drafting my own patterns for years now, i realized my wardrobe is nearly bursting. But not only with clothes i wear regularly or love so much i can´t give them away (yet), but also with pieces that hardly see the light of day. I´m a bit on a journey of altering or repurposing things i have. Because let´s be honest, i have a lot of stuff. Not only clothes, but fabrics and yarn. I…

Well, this has been a rather niche topic, so let’s jump right into the questions.
As an author, how would you use a reality-altering character?
As a reader, what do you think of characters who can alter reality?
If you were a character, how would you deal with an enemy who can alter reality?
Bought this shitty little lingerie dress that I didn’t wear because of the skirt bit. Decided to take off the skirt bit and sew the underneath hem line for reinforcement of the fabric.
It’s now a very pretty brallete :D
hihi!!
so i’m doing a fem!dazai cosplay, and the vest i ordered was cheap off of amazon, which means it probably won’t have a good fit. i want to alter it to fit my form, but i have no idea how to. any suggestions?
this is my first ever tailoring project, done entirely by hand, and I’m so proud of it so far!
I’ve had this shirt for many years and love the fit of it, but hate that it’s a tie-front. so last night I finally decided to alter it to make it straight in the front so it’s just a regular button down. the seam isn’t entirely straight where I altered it, but the fabric is pretty forgiving and it’s not super noticeable when I wear it, so I’m pretty pleased with this being my first attempt at altering something! after I alter the right side, I’m going to add one more button hole and button to the bottom :)
Bought this dress today, but had to remove the sleeves to get it to fit across my shoulders.
So I yanked them off and started to refinish the armholes
And I’m actually almost done
One of the greatest faculties of the mind is its amazing decision making ability. People have actually underestimated its power or have not exercised this to its fullest potential. When you’ve made up something inside your mind, then there’s nothing that could deter you, no matter how forceful or violent the storm could get from the other end, you’ll stand there like a mountain, without a scratch falling on you. Experiment it today. What’s that one thing which is literally fucking up your head? Make a decision that you’ll not allow it to ruin your peace in even the slightest manner. You’ll see what a lasting effect it would leave, not just on your mind but in the actual atmosphere you’re in and eventually the very environment around. Somehow no one speaks much of it for the simple reason that they have not themselves taken any firm decisions in life, always getting cowed down by situations, intimidated by people, unwanted fear building, pointless anxieties. For once, just once, if only you realized what an amazing capacity our minds hold through the realm of decisions to change the actual quality of our lives, even to the point of altering our very destinies - I swear, we would rise up every morning and repeat some motto of our life, almost like a pledge a soldier would make in the battlefield - death be it, but shall never turn the back!
