Alterations The Seams Easy Way contains tried and true alteration methods on common ready to wear clothing. By utilizing these steps, you will be able to alter clothing items for yourself or others to fit their particular size, shape, and length. Have you seen professional people with ill fitting clothing? Being professional includes looking the part. Clothing needs to NOT be “too tight”, “too baggy”, “too long”, or “too short”. I’ve included information for “Setting up a shop”, my favorite tools, tips for pressing, how to do a fitting, tricks to removing machine stitching, and more. There are over 100 color pictures included in the book. I opened my alteration shop in 1994.
