Good Monday to all our creative community!!! I hope this week has been productive for you and that you are doing well!
My work on the black jacket is slowly progressing. In the meantime, I did an audit of my wardrobe and found two skirts. It turned out that I had problems with this skirts 😕
You already see it, right? 😭 For these skirts, I need to lose weight urgently. Or give them to someone thinner than me. But I love these skirts very much: they are very practical, made of natural fabric and, in fact, are eternal things!
I can fasten buttons on them but it is not very comfortable for me in the stomach area. So I want to make them a little wider at the waist.
But I don't know yet how to do it. There are several difficulties for me. The first is that these are not ordinary buttons, but metal buttons on both skirts.
And the second - the fabric of both skirts is quite dense.
I actually have no idea what I can do. Can I sew an insert in front that will have a button on one side and a loop on the other? This will allow you to slightly expand the skirt, but you do not need to open the side seams and remove the belt. I have a very cheap sewing machine; it will not be able to sew such a dense fabric that is formed when sewing a belt to a skirt. Maybe you have some ideas for me? I'll be very grateful! 🙏
