Hi everyone, I hope this hasn't been asked before (gee, that'd be embarrassing).

I've been looking around for tutorials for making men's button up shirts into women's button up shirts. I've seen a lot of completed projects but nothing explaining how to do it :<

Is it just like making a t-shirt smaller?

Hi guys!!
I'm sorry to bother, but I've a problem and some help'd be great..
I have this shirt:



that, as you can see, has a rather visible hole in the middle of the back >_>
How can I cover it??

Oh and I have few old jeans and I'd like to do an half slaved jacket.
Do you guys have a link where I can get any indication or maybe other ideas??

Thank you really much *bows*
Bye ^0^/

So, I put my favorite jacket in the dryer, and I burned the fur lining on the hood of my jacket! I was curious if any of you ladies would know of a place I could get the fur replaced or if anyone here would be able to do it? Any suggestions would be helpful. I called American Eagle where it was purchased and they said there was nothing they could do.

:( :( :(

Hello!
I did holes in my jeans to customize them. In the picture you can see the result and here the tutorial.

Hello!
It's my first post here :) I hope you enjoy seeing this simply work: how I customize my gymbag

Because everyone loves pirates! These danglies are made from recycled plastic that I salvaged from food producers, which otherwise would have went strait into the dreaded landfill. They are not only ecologically friendly, they are an excellent addition to any outfit, though I find myself partial to goth, punk, lolitaish designs on something so deliciously evil, yet amazingly feminine.

hello! a friend just recently gave me a sweatshirt of hers to alter. she doesn't like how the collar fits; too snug. simple enough, yeah? but i really have bad experience with collars, and to put even more pressure on me, it's her favorite sweatshirt. she just wants it to be cut and sewn, i guess, but i have no idea where to start. any tips?
thanks!!

Hope you enjoy.

Hi! I just bought several very cool summer dresses to wear during the hot Texas summer. Problem is that they are all strap dresses and I have fat arms that I hate. I could just wear a shrug, but I really want to still keep the dress as cool as possible.  With one of them I am going to try and do something like this and maybe something like this with another but I need suggestions or inspiration wit the others. Help? I'm learning how to sew now so simple is best, but give me a idea and if I can't do it I guess I will just have to learn ;)

I need help! I have maybe about 36 hours to put together an outfit for a convention this weekend. I didn't know I was going until last night, have never cosplayed before in my life (and still a little unsure of all this).

I picked out [a] character[s] with outfits that I can see myself wearing in the future, no matter the situation, but time and money are both extremely short. I have maybe about $25 (possibly more if I'm sweet enough to my mom ;D) I can spare putting this together, so if you can help with any pointers or know where I can find some tips, I'd appreciate it!!

( More Surgeries )

I just joined. I was looking around for places to get some tips.

I had recently bought a thrift trench coat, I'd like to take it up so it will fit tighter. It's quite big and baggy and I'm looking to make it a nice fitting, shortened jacket. Do you all have any tips on how to take it up properly to make a comfortable, smaller fit?

I was thinking maybe taking a dress shirt of mine and using it to help with marking where this coat should be trimmed up. Maybe it could work or not? Just wanted to get some tips before I did anything with the possibility of butchering it and having to get another one.

Thank you all for your time!
