Thanks for sharing! This is a great way to save a blouse that's too tight!
Glad you like the video!
I am amazed by your sewing skills, putting pins and removing the pins while sewing, guiding the fabric by a screwdriver, etc. It blew my mind. Keep it up and thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your support!
I like the way you found the shape you needed to make the blouse bigger where you needed it bigger. Great idea. Than you.
Thank you❤️
I love what you did to this shirt. It's a very neat job and the end result shows that a lot of care went in to it. It's given me some ideas for my own shirts. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏💖
Glad it gives you ideas to try! Hope it works out 💕
I always feel a bit unsure when editing garments to fit better, but you’ve given me confidence! Thank you x
That’s great! I hope you give it a try and let me know how it turns out.❤️
Great tutorial. I like the trend toward shorter shirts. I am plus size and I am very tired of baggy shirts and long tunics. Hooray for shorter more fitted shirts. You have inspired me 🙂
Cropped shirts are great for added height, summer heat esp if you don’t like tucking it in. Cropped shirts have become one of my favorite fits💕
😮
I just did this to a shirt of mine. I wanted 3/4 length sleeves and used the fabric from the cuffs to widen the sides seams. Turned out great.
I like how you angled the fabric insert. Very cute.
That’s great! I love your idea💕Transformations are the most fun and creative way to sew! And thanks for the supportive compliment!
А поперечные вставки не будут тянуть?
You did A GREAT JOB! BEAUTIFUL!
Great fix of the blouse.
Thanks!
Thanks for your tutorial on how to make a tight shirt fits
🥰
😲🤯----You are amazing. I was recommended this video and saw that I have a shirt that I want to do this to so baaad. I've gone to a 2nd hand store to get a couple of cheap shirts to test first. Nope--can't do what you do. I can cook a mean dinner. Clean a mean house. Paint and play the piano but, what I love to have done the most--sewing--I just cannot. but good gosh I want to learn to sew so bad that---I am going to give it a go again. Pray for me!!!
That’s great, you know a lot more than me. I have always wanted to learn to sew as well but I was not confident or patient. I am learning to sew now and demonstrating it in detail, which helps me think hard about what I am doing before I make any cuts. It improved my patience and attention to details. The more you practice the better you will become. I am sure you know that already with all you other talents! Good luck and have fun!
@@Below5Petite 👍 I will try it. I am going to go through you videos for inspiration.😊
Great! Thanks for supporting me. I like the material and color in all my transformations. They’re mostly shopping mistakes that’s been in my closet forever and never worn. If I mess up, I really would not miss them. This takes out a lot of stress and worry of making mistakes. I hope that will help you have more fun sewing🥰💪🏻
@@Below5Petite 👍. Alright, let's go!!!🤭
Love where you found extra fab and made it work
Thanks!
amazing i need to do with my 5 shirts, will use the fabric from sleeves , as i usuall keep them rolled up to the elbow. , let me try and seek help from my crafty wife. wish me luck guys :)
Have fun!
Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for.
You’re welcome ❤️
I have some blouses that I need to do the same thing to. Great job.
Thanks! Hope it works out for you💕
I like your method!
Thanks!
You are amazing. Ty!
Thanks Dee!
Excellent job!!! What a great idea!
Thanks!
Great job
Cześć Magdalena! I hope it works for you and thanks for the encouragement 💕
Thanks for this...just in time for an alteration I was trying to work out! Also, great music!
Thanks Liki. Hope it turns out good!
I like your work, well done.
Thanks 🥰
Nice job & explanation/tutorial for how to do this & the various options. Doh! Why didn't I do this on many blouses I loved but no longer fit...😂
Thanks! If you still have them, give it a try! 💕
It looks like there were two layers in the back of the button placket. I would have used them, since the stripe go the correct way, and put a plain piece on the back of the buttons.
Good idea!
Amazing ..... you did a really wonderful work... i used shirt pockets to give some hip space..
Thanks! That’s a great idea👍🏻
The blouse is too short. I would search for a suitable fabric to match instead of shortening it.
It’s up to your own preference, that’s what’s great about sewing.
La blusa es muy mona,pero la reparación con todo mi respeto es una chapuza.
No problem, I just try to extend the life of an old favorite shirt for a little longer instead of throwing it to the trash. I am happy you agree it turned out cute. No one sees the inside so I am happy with the result.

You can do whatever you want with your own clothes.
What a great way to save a smaller fitting shirt. But I personally, actually liked the longer length because the shirt looks too short now and it looks a little odd when it is short like that. But thank you for sharing this video.
You can customize your own length!💕
Hey this was a very useful video to watch! Thanks for making this.
👍🏻
Been wanting to do this for a very long time. I've seen where lace was placed in between the cut triangle to widen the top.
Yes, you can use any material you think matches your shirt. I think lace is a very cute option.
Дякую! Скористалась Вашею ідеєю! Вийшло!
Wow! That's great!
Πολύ ωραίο μπράβο.
cute.
Relacing with an extra triangle piece?
cover a zone instead of a point?

Very creative 👏🏾👏🏾
Clever idea indeed.
Thanks
Thanks for sharing.
🥰
Grazie 🍃🌺🍃
Ho recuperato una camicetta
Yay! Good good!
Thank you, I can give it a try.
Let me know how it turns out.
Well done.
Thanks Pamela.
Love it! ❤ Guess I can't figure out what you did in the front, with the ruffle...to make it larger, it's so hard to read videos, especially since they have audio tracks, for Speaking & music... then little tiny words in light colored font...just too difficult to fallow along & try to guess what it is you're doing. Other than that, great video & good looking blouse, thanks
Sorry about that, I will improve my edit in my future videos with your suggestions💕
@@Below5Petite Thank you for being open minded, because your video was really very good and I encourage you to continue 😀
Thank you for your support! 🥰 I welcome constructive friendly advice to make future videos better.😄
Excellent
Thanks!
Tuyệt vời quá ❤
Thank you Tuyet! 🥰
How would you've done that without cropping ?
You could use any fabric of choice, with right sides together, trace the shape like I have in the video. Cut it out. You’ll have two pieces, one for each side of the shirt. Then follow the video to sew it together. Have fun!
I don't understand overlocks...I just use a zig zag stitch on my regular machine. never had any issues
Yes that is perfectly fine.
Muy prolijo!
I include details for sewers of all levels.
I think the waist should have been taken in a little more to give it some shape. It's too baggy. But thanks for the instructions.
Definitely make it the way you like!
Excellent what sewing machine do you use?
I use a Brother LB-6800
❤❤❤❤
sweet!

brava seguire il tuo Consiglio
🥰
Niiice!
Thanks!
❤❤😊
😁
What's the stick you use while stitching?
It’s a small screw driver for the sewing machine. You can use anything that help push the fabric forward.
@@Below5Petite thanks!
Silly then it's to short .
💕 You do have to consider if your shirt will become too short to use this method.
The waist of my shirt is a bit too long and cinched at the hips which really bothered me since I bought it. I am under 5' so a tiny bit of length makes a huge difference on my proportions. Now my shirt is at a length and width I enjoy wearing.
Some bodies are short from neck to waist and a shirt that is shirt will fit those bodies better.
Cropped shirts are in right now.
Yes! And I love how it makes me look slightly more elongated.
Способ вставок в бок уже порядком надоел. Есть другие более креативные идеи расширения
Yes, there are many ways to do everything. I chose this way so I don't need to purchase new material and keep the color uniform.
@@Below5Petite , ну тогда это прекрасное решение.🌹🤗👍
Kakie, moshete podelitsa?
@@nadijaheckel3857 I am not familiar with the Russian language. Do you mean, you want me to share more ways to alter a small shirt?
@@nadijaheckel3857 ,например вместо вставок в бок можно подкроить деталь переда, в которой соединяются нагрудная вытачка из проймы и для приталивания( мне трудно объяснить, но это как в платье ,,принцесс". Тогда обычно из такой же ткани, как эти новые детали, выполняются воротник, манжеты. Или другие детали.
можно от плеч сделать длинные , до линии низа, вставки из котрастной ткани или кружева.
Можно возле застёжки сделать вставки, даже с добавлением оборочки или волана.
Вариантов множество, дерзайте .

This is NOT really a solution. The shirt is now too short and the panel fabric stripes run the wrong way making them too obvious. I'm all for up-cycling etc but this just a fail 👎🏼
You have options to choose whatever solution you like with sewing. You are the designer who decides if it’s a fail or success. I made decision base on my preference you can do the same.
@@Below5Petite You didn't "upsize" the shirt...because you shortened the length. It looks worse! The rounded hem gave it style! It brings in the waist. Seriously, are you going to wear that ridiculous shirt out in public now?
You do you. Have been and will keep on wearing it with joy!
@@notbill08 i have seen shirts for sale with stripes deliberately run in different directions. I would wear this, but if you would not then ok. Is it necessary to be so mean spirited?
I have seen people wearing much shorter shirts unless you are too fat around the waist to show off
полезный совет.имею такие кофточки.спасибо
