DIY Alter an oversized top


I really liked this vintage gingham shirt, but it was so big I was swimming in it. 
Try this simple DIY alteration tutorial and you can turn too big into the perfect fit. 




 Simply find a shirt that fits you. Flip the shirt inside out and pin along the edge of the fitted top.


It will look like this...


 Once pinned, sew right sides together.


Trim the excess off. If you want to shorten the hem then do that as well...

    Great simple tutorial...since dropping some weight I'm finding the need to do this with some of my favorite shirts and blouses! I never thought to use a shirt that fits well as the marker, I usually just guesstimate how much to take in...lol...sometimes I'm successful, sometimes not so much.

    عث الخشب هو حشرة تتغذى على الخشب وقد تدمر المنازل والعقارات نتيجة تآكل الخشب والأثاث ، لذلك تسعى كل ربة منزل للتخلص من تلك الحشرة لضمان سلامة الأمتعة ، لأن أصحاب متاجر الأخشاب أيضًا نسعى جاهدين للسيطرة على تلك الحشرة حتى لا تتكبد خسائر.

    I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both equally educative and interesting, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is something which not enough folks are speaking intelligently about. I'm very happy I stumbled across this during my hunt for something regarding this.
