You're so cute with your little sewing machine! Btw, how much does a sewing usually cost?

[zozocouture]

@syllirabbit haha thanks! I sew kind of weird >.> sewing on the table has never been comfterble for me! I don't know why :/ but on prices, that is a industrial elna that I aquired from apprenticing a designer when I was 15, when she moved she gave it to me because she got all new equipment, (and a surger) but my first sewing machine was 100$ but wasnt that good, you should really look up reviews on google for cost effective and relaible sewing machines .

Thank you so much for posting this tutorial. I've been trying to start sewing, but you make it seem very doable. (: I love your blog and it'd be so great if you did more sewing tutorials.

@clothesencounters I am so glad that you enjoyed the tutorial, I really wanted it to be understandable to people that have little to know sewing knowledge so i am glad I did something right! I will be sure to make more! If you have any suggestions, you can tell me now or on my blog, or through email dear!

You are SO cute! Haha @ sewing on your bed

Wow! Turn pants inside out, wear them and then use marker to decide where to stitch! Such a simple but so very much useful concept..

I have tried altering 1-2 of my old clothes for my girls and this tip is really useful! I also need to alter the waist for one of my pants and this is going to help.

Thanks a lot. The instructions are great too!
