Hi Krafters!
Last week, my second daughter was in a tap dancing
competition! I had the task of altering her team’s dresses…NOT sure how that
came to be especially considering I am not a seamstress LOL. Basically I needed
to add another layer to the bottom of the dress to make it a little longer.
Here is a before picture:
As you can see, it had three layers. When I finished, it had
four! Here is the finished product:
I was pleasantly surprised it was seamless and no one could
tell it was altered!
To help me achieve the look, I went to Hobby Lobby and
purchased the same Polyester Lining fabric. Here is my product plug. I recently purchased
the Laser Square Tool by WRMK! What I love about the tool is it does not have
to be used for paper craft only! I took one side off and used as a guide to
help keep my cuts straight. This allowed all of the layers to be uniformed for
each dress! I can see myself using the Laser Tool A LOT! I recommend it!

Anywho, I used fabric glue first to set the layer instead of
pinning it to reinforce, and then stitched the seam.
All eight dresses were done in no time…and of course I was
asked to do this task at the last minute!!
That is it! I just wanted to check in and give the tool by
WRMK a plug and to let you all know I am creating! Krafthead~
