Alterations in sewing refer to the process of making changes or adjustments to clothing or other textile items. This can include anything from simple adjustments like shortening the length of a dress, to more complex changes like taking in or letting out a waistline or adding a zipper to a garment.
Here are a few examples of common alterations:
1. Hemming: Hemming is the process of adjusting the length of a garment. This can include shortening pants, skirts, or dresses, or raising the hemline on a pair of pants.
2. Taking in or letting out: This type of alteration can be done to adjust the fit of a garment. This can include taking in the waistline of a pair of pants, or letting out the seams on a dress that is too tight.
3. Adding zippers or buttons: Adding zippers or buttons can be a way to make a garment more secure or to make it easier to put on and take off.
4. Resizing: Resizing a garment can include adjusting the overall fit, such as making a shirt bigger or smaller, or making a dress tighter or looser.
5. Adding or removing embellishments: Adding or removing embellishments can include adding or removing beads, embroidery, or other decorative elements.
