Pinning

HEMMING:

SHORTENING STRAPS:

  • Pinch together excess at the top of each strap.

  • Pin each strap where it’s pinched, and let it hang to check how it looks, adjust until it hangs perfectly.

WAIST ADJUSTMENTS:

  • Pinch excess material at the waistband, balancing the excess at either side seam.

  • Secure with a pin on either side.

TAPERING SIDES:

  • Begin where the garment has the loosest fit on the body (often the waist).

  • Ensure the excess is balanced at either side. 

  • Place the first pin at the loosest area and continue adding pins along both side seams, about 5cm apart, until you reach the well-fitting area.
