taking in a merino top - 2022-10-23

i am tall but not wide person. to get the length in clothes that i need i often go up a size; this will then be too wide on me:-( i have put up with this for my life so far. one of my motivations for starting to sew (machine) was to have better fitting clothes that i had either modified or made myself.

the process is simple:

sew a new seam inside the garment.

cut off the now excess material.

finish the raw edge.

for my first attempt (under the wing of my sewing class tutor) i used a high contrast thread:

i could see my results clearly

i don't care about mending or amending with a contrast:-)

the result is that i now have a merino top that fits me rather than being too wide; it still has the length that i needed.

2022-10-20 - (63K) new seam before cutting.

2022-10-20 - (96K) finished seam and bottom detail.
