My secret and successful journey to making my own clothes How did learn this skill? I first needed a sewing machine. I read a fair number of reviews, couldn't understand why so many individual models are marketed by sewing machine manufacturers, and ended up getting a Brother CS-6000i new for $150. Another "new technology" thing I'm happy to have sprung for is a rotary cutter (and self-healing mat) to cut out fabric pieces. Then I went to the library and checked out a couple of general sewing books to get an idea of the basics. A related annoying thing (as a guy) was discovering how female-focused even sewing books are. I also then got his Making Trousers, and it's helpful, but is mostly an exploration of different design options and contains very little about sewing techniques. Google searches taking me to various sewing blogs or YouTube videos have been helpful from time to time as well, when I encounter a specific issue or have a new question pop up. So, is sewing your own clothes a Mustachian thing to do?
EmmaOneSock.com Discount Designer Fabrics BeeCrafty - Wholesale Craft Supplies and Accessories Tutorial: Making jeans smaller in the waist After recently working on Chris' dress pants and making them smaller in the waist, it made me feel more confident in the pants department. Anyone else feel that pants are a little daunting? Possibly the contestants on Project Runway can attest to this by the ratio of pants to, say, skirts and dresses? Yes? a handful too big So. Doing it this way means that your jeans will now have a center back seam in the waist band. Start by figuring out how much you want to take them in. Also, change your machine needle to a heavy weight. I started by taking of the belt loop. In the above photo you can see I've got the belt loop off and I've also started seam ripping the center back seam. Note: Now most jeans often look similar in the back, like mine do. Here I have started to unstitch the waist band. Note: The top of the waist band on my jeans was topstitched, but it wasn't stitched together. Open out the band like shown. I made a little Key: Green Dot: Waist band facing Yellow dot: Waist band

Extra Petite | Petite Fashion, Style Tips and DIY Thanks to Sydney's in-store sale tip (plus a well-timed extra discount last weekend), I've heard from several of you who are now new owners of the Old Navy print wrap dress. I love seeing the same item styled differently, so please feel free to email/tweet me a photo of yourself or post one to my Facebook wall, and I'll share them when I post mine. I mentioned in my review that there were slight fit issues with this dress. If it fits you perfectly off the rack - excellent. If not, here are three possible DIY alterations (I went with #2) that beginners can do, even if you have to sew by hand. However, learning to sew can be a waste of time if you don't first learn how to identify proper fit—a concept worth mastering for women of all shapes and sizes. If you don't own this dress, the general concepts below can easily be applied to various garments - blouses, tank tops, dresses, etc. Alteration # 1: Slimming sleeves and making armholes smaller.
