EP 13 Disappointed in a Sewn Garment? Try Saving It With These 5 Tips

You have worked late into the night to finish that garment that you have been sewing. Maybe you are trying to get it finished for the upcoming trip or special event. You finish up the last details, eagerly go to slip it on and rather than admiring your beautiful self in this new garment - you look in the mirror and its disappointment. The fit is fine - if that were the problem you would dive in and start working to correct that, but that isn’t the problem. It just doesn’t look like you pictured it. It doesn’t move the way you had hoped. It doesn’t really go with that other garment the way you had imagined. It just doesn’t meet your expectations. Now what? Is all lost? In this week’s episode I have 5 tips with a bonus 6 on how to hopefully save that garment and turn it into one you love Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The Free Sew With Confidence Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sewwithconfidencepodcast The Donny Shirt: https://fridaypatterncompany.com/products/donny-shirt-pdf-pattern?srsltid=AfmBOooY5imulAHjoxJ_OzNPqsQZJ579Ff6O_kuHpBlMKRBJz2cWChKP Donny Shirt Review: https://youtube.com/shorts/onAVInf7XJU?feature=share The Nova Coat: https://papercutpatterns.com/products/nova-coat?srsltid=AfmBOoru0j_BSVWw9Y0iqCsmmOCK-rrYxAvCVT7No2Q8WNSKJEdbJvPj The Nova Coat Review: https://youtu.be/XdZX7qlHneE Own Your Magic Dress: https://patternemporium.com/products/own-your-magic-fitted-dress-with-side-splits-wide-binding-sewing-pattern?srsltid=AfmBOor__3K_FtpF-CCXX87YGa41RCGetj9zyzGAxNu3m1dPkRSOiQIA Own Your Magic Dress Review: https://youtube.com/shorts/oIgaHtA6Ijw?feature=share Other Resources: Join the Free Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sewwithconfidencepodcast Grab the Free Sewing Essentials Toolkit at https://www.pinkhollybushdesigns.com/toolkit Sign up for the weekly newsletter at https://www.pinkhollybushdesigns.com/newsletter Interested in Smocking?
