- Hello friends! In today’s video, I wanted to show you how I made several of my own blouses BIGGER through alterations. I inserted fabric on the side of the blouse to make it bigger. I went on vacation and I noticed that several of my blouses were too small beforehand, so I added the material through alterations. I hope that you are able to pick up useful skills in this video. If you find this video useful or entertaining, please don’t forget to like, comment, share, and subscribe! Your support means the world to me!

You are so talented. I have a couple of blouses that I need to make bigger, but I have been afraid to touch them because I didn't want to ruin them. You are inspiring me to try. You are very sweet. I enjoy your channel very much!!
Thank you! 😊 Your comment warmth my heart!
My wife and I love watching your upsizing shows because, after the Covin mess, we need so much of our clothes to be upsized~! And each of your pieces gives different ideas we can... For the lack of a better term... We can 'steal' them to make our retirement wardrobe able to be worn again... Thank you for sharing...
Always a pleasure to watch your creative alterations! Thanks for sharing 😉
Thank you! Cheers! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for this! I have a lovely shirt, about 9yrs old now but I've been unable to fasten it for the past 4yrs or so. After I watched your video I took it from the back of my wardrobe so see if I could make it fit. It's a fine chiffon-type fabric with a pattern, adding extra at the sides would be difficult and probably beyond my skill level. But I noticed it had a folded hem vertically down the back as a design feature - Aha! So I unpicked it and it gave me around 2" more width so I can now fasten it! Thank you, had I not watched this video I would not have even thought of examining the shirt to make changes. Now what other shirts do I have to re-model... :)
This is so nice! I'm so glad you can wear your shirt now. Thanks for sharing 😊
You’re so clever. My thrift store donation box was full but you’ve inspired me to go through it again and alter the things I thought would never fit me again. Could you show us how to do the same thing with skirts? I’ve gone through your old videos but I don’t remember seeing anything like that. Thanks again for all you do. ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words! No I don’t believe I have done it on skirts yet! That is a wonderful suggestion :))
Some of my blouses have gotten smaller too, so I can’t wait to try one or two of these techniques! Thank you for another inspirational video!!
Thanks for watching 🥰
My blouses aren’t getting smaller…I’m getting bigger!😂🤣💖🇦🇺
Love the ideas! I’m short, short-waisted, and chesty, so I’m forever avoiding woven tops unless it’s a button-down I sew closed to eliminate gapping, so this gave me some great ideas.
🥰🥰🥰

You motivate me to get it done. Yes I have winter blouses from a few winters ago when we were renovating. I was a lot thinner because I was active. None of those blouses fit me now. Winter is coming at some point. I want to be ready. I keep everything because I was born into a family that repurposed everything. You are so inspiring! Please make more videos like this one
Wonderful! You are just in time to work on them. Happy sewing 😊
I have been doing the opposite for the past few months, taking in my clothes instead of getting rid of them. But I have had to do what you're doing now though. The last blouse where you added to the front was something new for me. I liked it... thank you, I always enjoy your videos 😊💕
Thanks for sharing!! Hopefully I'll have to take in soon! 😁
I LOVE this video since I have blouses to make larger! The last modification is so clever! TY
Thanks so much for watching! 🥰
Would enjoy seeing you model the before and after of each one. What a Blessing to know this can be done so well. Thank you. Very relaxing.
I'll try to show them 🥰
This video helps me a lot. I need to redo my wardrobe and these are great ways to do it.
Glad it was helpful!
Was very happy to find your video. So many DIY alterations are beyond the average sewer or focuses on making T-shirts into something. But you have given hope that I may have success enlarging blouses (mostly from shrinking in laundry, but also weight fluctuation). Your clear instruction, obvious talent, experience and patience are wonderfully helpful . Thank you so much!
Awesome! Thank you! 🥰
I have been ur number one fan since u started and this is why as soon as I am notified of ur videos I always watch and rewatch and rewatch I don’t know how many times I have seen this one today lol I just kept rewinding and replaying the whole video lol 😂 ur the best I have learned so much and have tried so many new things thanks to u
Omg Patricia, thank you so much for your support and for watching my videos! I really appreciate it and I’m glad to help! 😊😊❤️
You are very good at figuring out how much to add to seams. I usually give up. Maybe next time I’ll take more thought into the process.
Yessss! You can do it! 😊😊😊
You're so amazing at what you do. I love these videos. I have added fabric underneath the arms much like you have when I want to wear an old favorite garment. I have also taken in old thrifted sweaters at the same place when I would find a man's sweater that I liked. Honestly, I've been too nervous to take up sleeves and reuse the cuffs at the shorter length.
You can do it! 💪💪💪 I'm sure about it!
Hello, Happy New Year. I hope you enjoyed your trip. It's good to have you back again. As always good ideas, I especially ;ike the darts added to the white blouse.
I'm glad you liked it 😊 Thanks so much!
Hi, I love your ideas. I designed and made prototypes for 4 Doll companies. I’m retired now but so inspired and upgraded my clothes with your expertise. My husband is retiring and we could use extra income. I’m going to do alterations which I have for friends anyway! Love your enthusiasm, thank you so very much for sharing your talent. Deborah, Connecticut
Hi Deborah! Thanks so much for your nice comment. I'll see if I can give a tip or two on doing alterations at home. Cheers 😊
I love all your remakes I have subs to your channel cus I have got blousess I need to alter too and I will take the leaf from your book too thanks you downtown stitcher for sharing your marvellous remakes i love the black and the white in face all of them xxxxxxx
Your video is very interesting to listen to! You have a great narrating voice. And I love listening to your thoughts during the process.
Wow, thank you! 😊
I just love your videos! This is just what I need as my blouses are all too small all of a sudden and I don’t know why!😮
These blouses are so sneaky 😁😁😁 Thanks for watching! 😊
Excellent video to alter my clothes to fit better. Very creative! I love it. 🙏🏽
Thank you! 😊
I have a short torso, small chest, and a bit of a tummy, finding work shirts that fit me the way that I want sometimes feels impossible, but i love all these ideas!
My favorite is the last one! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for watching! 🥰
I love your creativity. If I really like the item that doesn't fit I either take it up or add on to it as needed. Because I do need to lose weight I sometimes box it up and put it in my spare closet for when I do lose the weight. I've done all of it.
So true! I pretty much have different sizes as my weight fluctuates. Cheers! 😊
Very clever, creative alterations. Brava!
Thanks 😊
Love these! They look so good!
Thanks so much! 😊
You are very likeable and don't make me feel bad that my clothes seem to be shrinking. Thanks for the step-by-step methods to make my blouses wearable again.
My pleasure! We have to take it one day at the time! Cheers 😊
Thank you for sharing this trick, I will try this technique on some of my tops that too have gone a little too small. Love your chanel!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks 😊
You’re so smart and talented👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
🥰🥰🥰
Love this one as well..I gained some weight when menopause hit😊
Love to You and Family!!❤

Really helpful thank you!
wow! I have no words. Amazing
Wow, thank you!
Thank you, my dear fellow sewist. I know 10% more because of you. I feel more confident. Much ❤️ from India
Thanks 😊
these were great ideas!
Glad you like them! 😊
Thank you for.sharing, just exactly what i need, i have to repair hand me down blouses today..
You got this! 🥰
📍You are so creative and love all your ideas! I’m sure they will come in handy as time passes. One thought-I had a few hand me downs and had to take in. What I did was cut a few inches at the back and made a seam. Maybe you have a better way of making a blouse small?
Thank you for all your awesome videos. 💕💃🏻
Yes. I have some blouses that are a little too big. I bought them XL as I gained weight but they seem to be way bigger. I'll make a video about it. Cheers 🙂
This video was wonderful! Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love your humour! How I wish I could have you teach me directly for a few first attempts to adjust some clothing! 👍🏻🥹

Very very useful trick..I love it.
🥰🥰🥰
It's awesome, useful Post, thanks for the video
Glad you liked it 🥰🥰🥰
Ah, my friend, welcome to getting older and we gain in the mid section! 😣 I too have been altering my clothing. I love especially how you choose one method over another and say WHY in that case. I get stuck with which way to alter it, and not wanting to damage it, since my skill set is definitely not yours my project sits there for days. You have given us great ideas- especially that side dart on the white blouse. I will have to try that!!
So true! Thanks 😊
Yes. Thus video is very useful and actually all yours
Glad to hear that! 🥰
Excelente de todos los videos que he visto este ha sido el mas detallado y realista!!
Muchas gracias! Me alegra que te guste 😊
Hi there, all the blouses afterwards more beautiful, i wish i could sew like that!!
Thanks so much! 🥰
Ty this is what i need to start altering!
Thanks 😊
Excellent jobs!
Thanks 😊
Thank you this video was very helpful. I have several garments that need sizing up. One of them have a collar & I'm wondering how would you manage that. I kinda have an idea for it.
Hi! I’d insert fabric either at the sides or at the front from the shoulders down. I hope this helps 🥰
Thank you ❤ very helpful 😊 ☺️
Thank you for this video in the process of making my purse close the front that’s too much material this might work thank you so much
Great ideas
Glad you like them! 😊
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful blouses.
Thanks for liking
I have some blouses I should try these techniques on. I am glad you showed us how to do it.
I have difficulty with knit and stretchy fabrics. Do you have tricks for sewing these?
Yes! As a matter of fact, I'm working on a video about it as we speak. Cheers 😊
@@DowntownTailoring thank you!!
Loved it!! You are so funny and talented! You made gaining weight seem not so bad! Lol
Thank you so much!! 😄😄😄
I am so sorry that your blouses got smaller like that. Thanks for inspiring us to keep and upgrade our old favourites. I often cannot resist thrifting the most gorgeous jackets, even though they are too small for my shape, but I think it would not be too difficult to use the sleeve material in the side seam to make them into vests or short sleeved jackets, also to add pockets.
😊😊😊
You are Awesome...thank you!
Thanks for watching 🥰
Excellent!
Thanks 😊
Thank you for the lessons.
I too would like to see before and after on the fit. 👍🏼❤️
I'll do 🥰🥰🥰
On the gold blouse with pin tucks ( my opinion) to release some of them then add gussets on the under arm where the other material won’t be visible ! On the white one if you have enough material I would’ve added the cuff size like the original , right above the elbow, to me it would make the blouse look better ( my taste ) . I’m not crazy about gussets especially when you don’t have material like original, I’m altering a labcoat, adding gussets to make bigger , my customer wanted me to alter in the front where facing is , but to me it won’t look good thus the gussets! I tell my customers “ bigger is better “
What kind of iron is that? I’ve seen that a couple times I think it’s kind of cool looking and thank you for this video. I have several shirts that I was going to throw away. I’m gonna try and make him a little bit larger.
The LIFE-SAVING sewing tool! 😅💨 #sewing #tailoring #iron
Great job thanks
🥰🥰🥰
Thank you, this are very good inspirations. :o)
Glad you like them! 😊
Helpful ❤
Glad you think so! 🥰🥰🥰
I loved all of these and will use them. The first one is a bit confusing because I don't completely understand the curve and when to use it. Can you tell me when to use the curve ruler please ???
Oh yes! I have to explain this in more detail. But basically, I wanted to add more width at the hips than at the waist, and I use the curve to go gradually. I hope this helps. Cheers 😊
@@DowntownTailoring yes it does. I definitely need a curve ruler. Thanks so much
Wow thanks for sharing
My pleasure! 😊😊
EXCELLENT
Many thanks!
:-} Que buen video para tomar vaaarias ideas para ampliar blusas, mi hija me regaló una Kurta y me quedó pequeña, la verdad es que el algodón de la prenda es maravilloso y fresco, ya que yo vivo en una zona desértica no quiero dejarlo sin usar. Bendiciones querida¡
Amén! 🙏 Igualmente 🥰
Bạn thật khéo tay 🌹
🥰🥰🥰
Do you have any videos on how to do a suit fitting for customers in the dressing room? Like, taking their measurements.
Oh! I have to make one about it, for sure!
@@DowntownTailoring Would be much appreciated!
Hi I have a dress and the top is too tight and the arms is a little tight how can I increase both places?
Beautiful 😍👌👌💕
🥰🥰🥰
I had a blouse similar to the your first one. The sleeves felt tight and twisted around the bottom of shoulder. Would any of these suggestions fix them or should I just take it back to the store?🧵🪡
Hi! You can insert fabric all the way through the sleeves. It will make the sleeves way more comfortable. Cheers 😊
I appreciate your answer. But it was returned to store. The knowledge is tucked away for the future. 😊 Happy 4th of July 🎆🥧 🇺🇸
Hallo your talents giveted good job I give you 💯💯👍👍👍 from South Africa Gauteng province Dimpho
🥰🥰🥰
Hi
How are you ?
I have a question:
I start recently working by alternate (reparation) but i don't know how i count the price
Can you explain that for me?
Thanks
Hello! I have a video on how to price your alterations profitably: czcams.com/video/4Upv2PUXCBc/video.htmlsi=DESAKAWLgqht44u5
I would love to see how you take a mans shirt and transform it into a ladies blouse too. Nowadays some fabric in mens shirts are so pretty! And the plus, you have more fabric to work with.
Yes! I definitely will do it! 🥰
Altered them
I wish if I can be your apprentice❤
🥰🥰🥰
After 58 it is not easy to lose weight. 😭😤😆Thanks for the ideas.
Exactly! 🥰🥰🥰
Wonderful thank you. MARY-LOU
Thank you so much! 😊

I think of fixing then damage them 😂😂😂 so I always let those stay in my cupboard thinking one day I will wear when I reduce weight which never happens.
I understand the feeling 😂😂😂

Why didn't you try the blouses on after too show us how you looked in them after sewing them to the right fit. I'm very disappointed! Please put on the cloths you fix afterwards! I feel like I waited my time watching your video...
I’m so sorry you got disappointed. 😔 Anyway I’ve been using these blouses in other videos and I have seen comments about them. Next time I’ll wear them for all of you. I thought that showing the process was more important. Cheers 😊
I don’t want to clickm9n your video and have to suffer through ads. Not worth it won’t waste my time watching your channel
Hi! I know what you mean. But remember that ads make free videos possible. Cheers 😊
Молодец,умница.
