Two easy Alterations
A while ago, i looked through my wardrobe and sorted (nearly) everything in 3 categories.
1.) Still wearing = keep
2.) Not wearing, because of fit or needing repair = alter, repair
3.) Not wearing = Donate
It is kinda shocking how much stuff i have, but just don´t wear. Most of those clothes i do not wear, because i don´t like the material they are made out of – ( i got a lot of clothes gifted to me over the years). And others i like, but don´t wear regularly, because they fit weird or i put them on my mend and repair pile and forget about them.
Well, this weekend i altered a very old blouse (for the second time) and a skirt i made myself years and years ago. The blouse was once a nice royal blue (later dyed to navy), short sleeved blouse. I can´t exactly remember, but i think the sleeves had to go, because they were much to tight. (Here is the Link to the old Blog Post: Alteration: Blouse (Änderung Bluse)). I realised that i don´t wear this blouse that often, because i made the armholes a bit too tight. And this is the only thing that needs to be changed. Everything else is quite good.
As you can see, too tight armhole.I folded one side of the blouse inwards and pinned the side seams and shoulder seams together (so the seams matched). Than i cut away the bias tape edging i made years ago. If the armhole would have been just a little bit less tight, than it was, i would have used my seam ripper to end up with the original armhole and maybe cut away half a cm. But it was soo tight, i was able to cut off all of it.
Here is the old alteration with the matching bias tape. Folded Inwards and shoulder seam onto shoulder seam.The view from the side.I then looked for a matching bias tape, which is just the easiest way to finish it, and stitched it on from the outside (the nice side of the blouse), folded it twice and topstitched it down on the inside. Never pull on the bias tape or else it puckers.
Sew it from the outside.. You should iron it, but i just pressed it flat with my fingernails. Folded once to the seam.. Folded twice and then.. Sewed it down.After a good press, the alteration was completed and it only took me about half an hour.
Much more comfortable!The second alteration for this weekend was a skirt, i made a long time ago. I usually wear it every summer, but it always did bother me a bit, because it was just two rectangles sewn together and thus my freedom of movement was a bit restricted. I always had to pull it up a bit, so i could run or walk faster. It just wasn´t practical. So i made two slits on the sides.
I didn´t press it before (or after) because it will get folded up again till next summer.As i was looking at the seams of this skirt i just thought, wow my sewing really got much much better. I definitely wouldn´t do some thing as i did, like serging together the side seams, because this makes alterations quite tricky.
I couldn´t cut anything away, because it would just get very wonky and a bit prone to fraying. So seam ripper to the rescue!
I pressed everything and then i serged both sides from the slit in one go. Which means, i started at the „hem“ (where the hem was), serged up to the end of the slit and back down the other side. It isn´t the best way to make a slit, but it worked out just fine.
And then topstitched the slits, which apparently i didn´t take a picture of, and closed the hem again. And that was it. I´m still not sure about the length of the skirt, but this will be a problem for next summer. Once i wear it, i will decide what is going to happen.
Finished slits.This alteration took be about an hour, and only because i had to unpick the seams and i ran out of bobbin thread.
As i said : really easy alterations, that hopefully prolong the life and wear span of my clothes.
Which easy alterations do you like to make?
Thank you for reading, till next time. Maybe with another Knitting Adventure.

Blouse is nearly finished. Still missing hems, some topstitching, buttons and buttonholes.
I will make the pattern from a different (thinner) fabric again.
I'm quite happy with how the pattern came together. Hardly any changes needed!
Absolutely thrilled to get to work with Gia yesterday for a shoot for our friends at Kinnara Style. And dancer and actor, Gia leverages her balance and movement abilities to enhance the experience of creating photos with her (not to mention, she's clearly lovely!).
