Pinning shoulders too highIntro on shortening shoulders sleeveless dress

I am often asked for for instructional videos on more comprehensive clothing alterations.  I have added one such video to Magic Circle on how to shorten the shoulders on a lined sleeveless dress, gown or top.

Most people would unpick the seam at the top of the shoulder, fold the amount being taken off and hand stitch it closed.  This is NOT the correct way to alter a garment.

My method takes 30 minutes if it is a standard garment.  Of course I have altered many, but even so, once the technique is learned, speed will increase as method improves.

Here is a brief introduction into the video in Magic Circle.

Cheers
