    Niler, thank you so much for the simple directions provided for placing a gusset into a garment that is too small. I'm making 5 flower girl dresses and I got to my granddaughter Laicee's dress and the bodice bottom was too small. I saw your you tube video and found a savior! Thanks to you, I was able to salvage the bodice and continue on. Thank you and continue with the great sewing tips. God bless😊

    I know lots of other people have said this but I've just watched three or four videos on inserting a gusset and this is one is definitely the best. I'm going to save it in my sewing folder and follow it to enlarge a men's shirt to dress upcycle that came out too small across the bust. Thank you very much.

  • @michapollick4185
    @michapollick4185 Před rokem +2

    Thank you for such a clear, concise video. I don't sew very much and usually take on something higher than my skill level so not the best of experiences. I've never done a gusset before and a dress i bought online was made in Vietnam and was too small from armpit to middle of the rib cage, too small. I thought about finding a tailor but live in a small town without one. With your directions, I think I can do this!!

    What I like about you is that you don't take the easy way out. Almost ninety percent of the people are reducing the sized when most of us need to add size after two years of being inside avoiding other people. I was searching for what you did today... Well... It was posted in 2014 and this is 2022... But it was a help... Thanks...

We all just try to keep it moving including "stretching" those clothes that the manufacturers seem to keep making "shrink"! LOL. Thanks so much for watching and for your nice comment.

    My uniform blouses are just a smaller version of a man’s shirt, the sides are completely straight. So I’m adding gussets along the sides to give them a more feminine look and fit. To make sure the fabric looks the same, I’m turning the long-sleeve blouses into short sleeves, and using the excess fabric for the gussets. Thanks for showing me how to do this! 🧵🪡

    • @NilerTaylor-relindesigns
      @NilerTaylor-relindesigns  Před rokem +1

      That's a great idea. I actually have a video that shows how I turned a long sleeve shirt into a short sleeved shirt and used the sleeves to make gussets in the sides.

    @gomaroon3146 Před 3 lety
