Top altering

This was just a quick little alteration for my sister before she went on her holidays.




This was quite a baggy top, As it has no fastening or opening anywhere I couldn't just take it in as then she wouldn't be able to pull it on over her head.

So I came up with the idea of creating some little bias ties that she could then tie to pull it in.



 I wanted it to blend in with the fabric of the top so I used some fabric I already had. 



I ironed it in half the turned each edges into the middle so I could run up a top stitch and keep it all inside.



I then unpicked the sides of the top and put the binding inside.



 I then stitched it in & stitched over it to keep it secure.



The finished result.. so simple and easy.
