this proves how you don't need to be a professional tailor to get really good results! i'm on a one-man mission to alter my whole closet too, even if the stitches are a bit dodgy, the fit is the most important thing!

I still believe the easiest yet prettiest small alteration was the orange dress!! It looked so pretty after you fixed it!! But also the jeans with the gold embroidery must have been hard but the results paid off!!

Girl I just needed to tell you how you've influenced my way of dressing. I've gone from years of wearing all black, then fading into a quiet depression with my clothes by hiding behind baggy stuff I've had for years... To not buying alot of clothes, but diving into the mujeres of my family's closets and going back to my love of thrifting. I went from being afraid to be looked at to going full monochrome, wearing all my dream pièces, being playful with my style, and most importantly loving my vessel again and feeding and treating her right. And today, the universe sent you to make me bring out my sewing machine and finally splurge on that mannequin, to alter the pile of clothes that has been sitting here for months. Love you byyyyye

babes you did FIFTEEN alterations, that is such dedication oh my goodness!

Love this! 💗 To prevent puckering, don’t sew to the bottom of the dart, make your line attached 3/4 of the way down. I hope I’m explaining that well. 🤞🏾 What is the make/ model of your sewing machine?

I have no experience whatsoever with sewing but this video encouraged me to do some type of research and learn how to alter my clothes 😂 especially while I'm trying to revamp my wardrobe!

I need to learn your wayyysss!!!

Love this! When resizing darts it can really help to put them on inside out and pin your new sew line, and also to extend the dart a little bit further so that the sew line can merge into nothing as gradually as possible (the less abruptly the dart ends, the less chance of puckering) and agree with the other comments on ironing! ✨

My mom had to alter all of my pants growing up because I had really weird proportions and I'm glad she taught me how to alter clothes too. I was always really skinny but eventually also grew and clothes would never fit on my waist and my leg length at the same time. I still always get the butt gap so learning how to fix that issue specifically was very important for me. You can do a lot of these alterations without a sewing machine too you just need more patience if you hand sew but it's totally possible I've shortened jeans by hand.

Just wanted to say I wasn’t expecting to be the most impressed at the way you speak about your body in relation to your clothes. No dialect about “oh now I look skinnier” or comments about how the clothes present you to others on the outside. Only comments about how the clothes make you FEEL after you change them. Amazing and inspiring

This was also my reason for getting a sewing machine a few months ago and it has been so liberating and opening my eyes to all the possibilities!

I never realized how much better properly fitting clothes looked on a person until I watched this video. This gives me the motivation to practice and learn how to alter clothes properly for myself and others. Great video!

I Absolutely LOVE that you give us a little dance for every try in!! Fun vibes every time!!!

I'm so glad I found you. Thank you for the real ness and the quickness of your narration!

Yesss, love that you’re getting better/more confident with your sewing machine! My fav was the colorful blue dress- so cute!

I’m so happy you made this! I have so many clothes I hang on to because I really want to wear them but I can’t seem to dive into alterations. This gave me a little push to go ahead and do it

Omg. I have so many of these projects too. You have given me inspiration to get them done. And I love that your alterations aren’t exactly finished perfectly but they still look amazing! Great job!

Yo Homegirl, I started sewing classes last year to learn how to alter all of my wardrobe as I started to lose quite a bit of weight. I learnt how to create a garment from scratch, even creating the pattern myself, but I was left with no confidence in altering. This video has helped massively, and I love how care free you are with it 💛

This was super inspiring. I have always wanted to learn to sew 🪡 well and alter my clothing because I’m tall so pants always fit weird on me and high waisted skirts and jeans are super flattering on me. Thank you for making this!

My first video that I watch of yours love your personality! Def inspired me

Well done for getting around altering your clothes! 👏🏻 I think some of the pants especially the pink pair mainly needs a good press on a tailors ham to look like it has less puckering. A good press on a dart makes all the difference! 😊 Also, love your thread holder hack 😍

That waistband situation is a struggle, I gave up doing that to a pair of jeans and just accepted that they were gone lol 😂 you did an amazing job with all these projects, it’s reminding me that I have things to alter too!

Ah the green dress came out so beautiful it looks so good on you!

everything fit so good on you !!

Thank you for also talking about things that did not work out how you expected (for better or worse), it really helps me think through the best methods for each piece I want to alter!

girl body looking good for reals!!! yaa

It's amazing how much better clothes look when they fit. I love the way you make alterations, I am always pleased when I meat people who sew the same way I do. I feel vindicated, because I can still hear my Home Economics teacher chastising me.

You have saved a life with this video, I swear. I lost 6-7 fingers off my waist and hips in the past couple of years and it's either get a whole new wardrobe, pay big $$ for alterations or learn how to do this for myself. THANK YOU.

Lol you are so cute. I’m going to try and also alter some stuff. This was great inspiration definitely pulling out my sewing machine.

thank you for talking about the "dedos method"!!! i thrift the baggy jeans i wear and take in the waist, so next time i need to take in my waist more ill definitely try to do it your mom's way!

You did such a good job with these! Great vid, feeling inspired fer sure✨️

Omg all the alterations look great!

This was so enjoyable to watch! I love this sort of diy videos thanks so much for all the helpful tips!

The style of clothes + the music choices are *PERFECT*

So many of them were so simple! Shows how easy it can be

Great video as always ! It gave me the courage to finally alter a pair of jeans that was way too long, thanks !

Wow, super Natalie ;) All the items are super Stylish girl

DEDOS PARA DIAS!!! 😂love this method This is huuugely motivating, thank you!@@ doesnt have to be complicated just has to get done. To avoid puckering at end of darts, try ending your dart just short of where it tells you to and tie the ends off by hand instead of backstitching at the tiny part

it is insane how many cool pairs of pants u own

I love this kind of videos!!! I think im gonna try doing it to haha

I always admire people who can do these things. I have zero talents

Your colorful pants are so cool!

Thank youbfor sharing! I get alot of inspiration from it 😍😍

Hello! Big fan over here. I just wanted to add my two cents on the puckering issue. I sew as my hobby and part of the puckering issue you are having is that you are backstitching the dart at the end. You should backstitch at the beginning continue sewing to the end but do not backstitch when you get to the end. Just sew until you have sewn off the fabric . Pull the thread a bit (gently) after lifting the foot to create a tail and then cut the threads. Just tie the threads by hand to finish the dart then cut the loose threads. Secondly, it is very important to iron the dart down. You could face it to the center but the ironing will help a ton with any slight puckers. There are other factors like thickness of the fabric that contribute to puckering but for the unlined pants/skirts these tips should work. I know this video is from a year ago and you may have figured it out by now but thought I would share 😊.

Funny watching this while working on my sewing machine lol I love this!❤️ I've also been doing a lot of upcycling of my old clothes and it is great, it gives a second chance to things you like but don't really wear. I have a few videos on my channel of this, and more to come. 👉🏻👈🏻 I personally don't alter jeans because it can damage my sewing machine. I've had to turn down a couple jobs because of this. But those golden thingy jeans are a piece of art, they deserve it! 👑 I think maybe with the straps of the orange dress you can take the elastic and make a belt for it 🤔 Love your videos! Saludos desde Argentina!

Your videos are the best i am super inspired

I’ll be heading home for work during the broadcast but wish I could be here to chat. Y’all have a good one! Will watch the replay 😁

to help with the puckering i was told to sew in more of a curve rather than a line. don't secure it with sewing back and forth just go off the fabric (never leave even 1mm of fabric left, try to go off the fabric as smooth as possible with a nearly paralell line) and secure it by tying the two threads.

Love the denim skirt.

For years I thought it was just me who measured hems with my fingers. This skirt is 4 fingers too long, etc. I thrifted a couple of skirts that are too big so I was going to put in darts on the back waistline. Thanks for the inspiration!

Love your thinking ❤

You got so much done! 😍👍

I truly loved this video. it's incredible how many clothes we have wasting that we can fix by doing one of those simple tricks and give it a try, so thank you so much for this video.

my grandma is scary good at altering clothes. she can look at you and know exactly big or small it needs to be. that's what i hope to be able to do because i am mad tired of measuring everything.

love watching ur videosssssssss

6:20 she’s talking straight to me bruh 😂 have like 20 things I need to fix since forever lol

Love ur style

Great fixings. Love the dress on project #11 beautiful colors. Suit you nicely. Enjoy your trip to U.S. 🤗🤗

You should get a ramen bowl, it has these dips to hold the chopsticks (10:57). This way your straw hack and bowl would work better since the straw wouldn't move around as much

Omggg!! New vid!! ♥️😍♥️😍

I’ve always wondered how to take in the waist on jeans. On normal pants I just take in the seams on the sides instead of the darts. I didn’t even think of using darts to take in the waist!

More videos like this! Loved it! (:

excited for the new video😊

I love this sewing content even tho 1) I don't own a sewing machine (yet lol i'll get one someday) 2) most of the sewing I do is doing the "dedos" trick on pants that are a bit too big by hand sewing

How do you prevent the puckering?

i loveeee that thrifted jeans on you

Appreciate your effort!!💖💖💖

Your mom's finger trick is amazing!!!

This taught me SO much and I dont even know how to use a needle and thread
