DIY HOW TO UPSIZE A TOO SMALL SKIRT AND ADD POCKETS

[@katherinejohnson2749]

I just finished upsizing my thrifted jean skirt yesterday and am so grateful for this tutorial. The skirt didn't come with any extra fabric but luckily we had some scraps from an old pair of my husband's jeans that matches pretty well. It's not perfect but I am excited that it worked and the skirt is comfortable to wear.

Yay! That’s great to hear! I bet it blends in really well and it is always great to have clothes that are comfortable to wear!!!

Well that’s a fairly easy upsize. What about upsizing a knee length skirt where you have no spare fabric you can use?

[@DuckInYellow]

Hi! It is difficult to upsize a skirt without extra material unless it has big seams in the sizes of the fabric. Most commercially made garments do not have this unfortunately.

You can always use another piece of fabric of a different color, possibly on both hip sides, so that you get a different model of skirt. Or you are looking for another piece of clothing with the same type of fabric (it takes a while to find but then you also have something). Good luck.

Good job! I'm trying to upsize my linen button down skirt that I thrifted and this helped give me some guidance and confidence.

Thanks so much for this tutorial. You are the best. I have 2 skirts to modify.

[@DuckInYellow]

Thank you so much! That is so sweet!!!

WHAT can say!? Just Brilliant 🎉😊Thank You!!🎉

[@lishachism2600]

I usually use ‘Jean’ but sometimes denim when asking for fabric. Love your style !!

[@DuckInYellow]

Thank you so much!!!

You should do a video on how you learned how to sew and some tips for people who wants to know or knows but need more guidance. But also use visual aid, most people love visual aid instead of only talking. Hope you can. Enjoying your channel!

[@DuckInYellow]

That's a great idea! Are you looking for hand sewing, sewing machine? I LOVE your ideas!!!

[@gracepolite7817]

Both I rarely see both explained. You could make a night gown and while you’re doing it, you could explain the importance of certain techniques you use to make it actually fit or to make it look nice or what you use. Not everyone have sewing machines or even sergers. I’m blessed to have the main which is the sewing machine. However my hand sewing isn’t perfected,..not even close. I just see so many different things with your channel. You’re already very different and very inspiring and you’re very persistent even though your platform isn’t yet huge. It will be I decree it in Jesus name. Girl I appreciate you dearly.

I think women's clothes don't have pockets so they can sell more bags.

[@MariaLopez-hc2nm]

Pockets are good if you have a flat bum. Girl in a Levis shop advised me.

[@newtoatheism5968]

I got something on amazon that’s a bit too small it’s silk I don’t have silk but does it have to be the same kind of fabric?

[@DuckInYellow]

You can absolutely use different materials! Silk is hard because of its shine and also how you wash it. Just be careful when washing! Hope that helps!

[@dinachayarubin5600]

I've always been told that pockets are not elegant and make you bulky that's why as a girl you should never want pockets. Idk if I believe that but I like them

[@susieshels]

Thanks for this video! Really helpful! By the way in your notes I think you use the term ‘aka’ wrongly- are you aware this stands for ‘also known as’? Anyway, thanks for the helpful hints regarding skirt upsizing.
