Tiny Tweaks: Mini Upcycles that make a nice difference

In this video, I’ll do 13 different tweaks to 7 dresses! I’ll show you how to raise or lower a slit, how to take in the sides of a dress to make it more flattering, how to use a Cricut precision cutter to make fantastic embellishments, how turn a dress into a top and add elastic to the sleeves, and how to add pockets to a dress! These little changes make a BIG difference!
