Lady Shivesa - taking the sides in is usually pretty easy, especially compared to trying to make it bigger! PM me if you want hints on doing a specific garment. I don't really like to do alterations (or repairs), but I know how. Now that I'm quilting, I can't even get in the mood to do the dress my daughter wants, which is like one I've done for her before.

This blog inspired me to try changing some of my own dresses which I don't wear because I don't like the way they look or fit. I can't do the things this lady can do, but take a look at what I did to this dress that was bothering me.

Sometimes she comes up with a dud, but a lot of the time, she really does make something I'd consider wearable. I wish I could do that. I do refashion stuff sometimes, but mine are more frequently duds, and I just can't "see" the potential like she can.

take yesterday for example i made a new purse for one of my friends and she told me to do what ever i wanted with the old one this is what i got :
3 magnetic snaps still perfect condition
strapping just needs washed
a nice zipper looks new
rings and hooks (purse hardware)
so out of this free purse that was going in the trash i got about $10 - $15 worth of stuff to use on a new purse for me or someone also less stuff going to landfill SCORE, CHA-CHING!
money in my pocket or should i say for more stash lol!
