Learn to alter the clothes you already have in your closet! Many of us have loads of clothes we don't wear because they don't fit quite right. This book shows you how to adjust, fix, or alter your clothes instead of buying new ones.
You know that item of clothing you loved when you bought it, but it turned out to have a slightly odd fit, and now it just hangs there in your closet? Or those pants that have become too tight, or the dress that fits a bit strangely at the waist? There's no reason to throw them away or let them hang unused in your closet. In this book, Mari Melilot shows you how to make your favorite garments fit perfectly. With simple, step-by-step explanations, she demonstrates how to let out a waistband, adjust the length of a skirt, alter sleeves, and much more.
With this book, you'll also learn to patch, mend, replace zippers, and numerous other clever ways to make your wardrobe last longer. Taking care of what you have is not only sustainable and economical, but it's also fun handiwork and a way to create a wardrobe that is absolutely perfect for you.

I (Eva, owner of this shop) am lucky enough to be friends with Mari and was SO happy when I first flipped through the book because it contains SO MUCH I want to convey and share, and now I don't have to spend time on it; I can just send her very thorough book instead! Woohoo! The book is suitable for both beginners and experienced sewers. Publication year: 2025, Number of pages: 251, Hardback/Bound
