Check out my latest project http://www.flickr.com/photos/spinsta/tags/challenge/ I am preparing for the next term of the Wardrobe Refashion Challenge I think the next project is to build my own dress form. The one that I have is old and rickety.
Recently I was asked if you could raise the crotch in a pair of pants. Well, yes and no. In either case it’s not going to be a quick alteration. If the pants are gigantic you may be able to do a quick and dirty fix (figure 1). You could try adjusting the angle of…
So I finally caved in and went bra shopping. One of my least favorite activities because a) I can never find something that fits right and b) I refuse to spend more than $10 on something that will inevitably get destroyed in the wash.
