Such an informative video, here. I have a few blouses which need this exact "alteration" done on them. TYSM for sharing this video with us. Love your channel ! 😍❣️😻
Thank you, Anastasia! This is exactly what I needed. I'm even more excited that I have all of the right tools to do exactly like your demonstration! Will be checking out your other videos. I'm sure there's more to learn here.
I really did your class your tutorial because it was actually understandable and you were very descriptive and did it as you were talking. I like learning all like that anyways thank you I'll subscribe.
Thank you, I am going to attempt to make some of my existing clothes into ones with drop armholes, as I don't like the way clothes get all sweaty in the underarm area. Now that I can sew, I can do it! Thanks so much for sharing your expertise
I can! Your options for taking it in are through the shoulder seam, side seam or any other seams in the armhole or you can make a dart. Hope that helps till I make a video on it. 💕 Thank you for watching.
When you serge around the armhole, put fusible thread in the lower looper. Then turn it to the inside and press it into place and the fusible thread will melt and hold it into place. Be careful that you serge in the direction that would put the lower looper on the inside of the garment. You can then topstitch it in place.
@@SewAnastasia You will LOVE it. I predict you'll be finding creative ways to use it and will be inspiring us with all sorts of new things to do with it very soon.
Dearest Anatasia - I am loving your jewels of videos! Do you have a recommendation for making a Halloween costume bigger ALL over? I purchased a basic robe and need to adjust to fit my husband that is a couple sizes larger than the purchase. Can I presume to start with the arm hole, add an addition to the bodice and then work on the sleeve to finish out the upsize? Again, love your teachings !
Thank you for watching. I would add a strap of fabric from the wrist to the armpit to the waist and then the hem. Basically a giant long rectangle down the sides of it to widen it all over. Hope that helps. We could also do a virtual lesson together! Sign up is on my site sewanastasia.com
Can one add a sleeve after doing this? I disassembled my winter coat so I could use it as a pattern for a new coat. I followed the same pattern and added an inch of seam allowance and sewed half an inch, but when I pinned the vest part together, the armholes were too small.
Oh Humm I guess I can put more pics in the video but I show the before in the beginning of the video & the result at the end. I can see how one might want to see the side by side though. Good idea! Thank you 💕

Thank you for watching. Happy sewing 🧵
This is exactly what I needed! Thanks!!!💖💖💖💖
🎉 woohoo 🎉 Make those dresses fit 👗🎀 Thank you for watching Joanna
Thank you for this! I have a sleeveless blouse that the armholes are much too tight, but everything else fits perfectly.
Happy to help. I hate when the arms are tight. It’s so uncomfortable.

That's a great idea!
thank you so much! this was so helpful. I recently got a vintage dress that has a really weird shaped armhole, I can't wait to try this!
Glad it was helpful! 🎀
Love this! Thank you! Can you now do the reverse? If you have an armhole that is too big? How would you make it smaller!

Wow! Fusible thread?! I didn’t even know that was a thing. Good tip!
Wow so interesting!!!!! Iv never heard of fusible thread!!! Your blowing my mind! I need to get some!!!! Thank you 😊

@@maryjanegibson7743 I can’t wait to get some!
Wow, sounds great 👍🏼 👍🏼

I have a question I bought a dress but the arm holes are too big and stick out ? How do i bring it in. It is polyester shell with lining
@@venustreat701 You can take it up through the shoulder seam depending on the design but that means you will probably need to reshape the neck.
Could I use this method on a shift dress paper pattern? Dress fits great everywhere but armhole too tight in front. Thank you.
You totally can!
I found it!
Woohoo 🥳
Do you know if there's an easy way to adjust one arm-hole with hand sewing?
You could do the same thing to just one armhole & hand sew it.
Great info. How about some before and after pictures ?
Oh Humm I guess I can put more pics in the video but I show the before in the beginning of the video & the result at the end. I can see how one might want to see the side by side though. Good idea! Thank you 💕
@@SewAnastasia sorry, I meant with you trying it on. So we can see how it fits you.
L o v e !
Thank You
🪄💡✨💨
❤️❤️❤️
Please tailor more wedding dresses
I will add it to my list!
What is a serge?
How do I make the sleeves fit the bigger armholes?
Ahhh well you can't make the sleeve bigger unless you let out the seam in the sleeve.
I’ve never heard of a French curve tool. What do I do if I don’t have one? Buy one? Haa
lol yes buy one or use something that is curved or you could free hand it.
AFTER YOU ALTER A GARMENT YOU SHOULD PUT IT ON AND SHOW US HOW IT LOOKS .
My bad I thought the dress form was easier to see with this armhole.
Wow, that shirt! If only you knew someone who can sew.. then you could get some of those holes fixed. 😂
Yr silly
it is criminal you didnt do a try on after you finished it
