Summary | It's finally here: The holy grail for creating clothes that celebrate your body and let all your curves and swerves sing! In this guide to easy alterations, flip-thrift guru Allie Luecke shares all the top tips to have your clothes fitting like a glove. Perfect for beginners, Allie's book has got you covered with easy-to-follow guides and fantastic projects including: starting strong (learn how to hem and dart everything you own ; take it all in (turn oversized into just-the-right size); let it all out (seam rip the shit out of too-tight clothes); mind the button gap (close the gaps on a button down shirt -- buh-bye, peeking bra!); zipper-ty doo dah (add zippers to form-fitting pieces -- or any piece, really). Whether you're tailoring the fit of a waistband or adding a pocket, Allie's clear tutorials guide you through the process with ease, and her signature voice and sense of humor will have you smiling while you sew. So don't give up on those unworn pieces haunting you from the closet; join Allie and let your clothes adorn your body the way they were destined to! |
