Sue W. delivered a very interesting and informative presentation on alterations at our September 12th meeting. Examples presented included adding gussets to jackets for extra ease, adding an extra 1/2 to the bottom of jacket fronts so they'll hang straight, and letting pleats out of pants to add extra ease in the waist. Fabric for extra waistband can be obtained by removing a belt loop or two. Most importantly...don't be afraid of alterations. Thanks, Sue!!!
