sewing destruction
Today we’ll be learning to demo out existing seams to make way for a remodel. The client bought this cute fixer upper from the early 1960′s (see polyester building materials and dated button hardware) and has asked for a slimmer fit.
“There’s too much unused space in the ass,” says owner Jon Rolston. “Can you make it hug more in the nuts and make the jacket look less like a sack?”
We can. The first step is to rip out the waistband, pull off belt loops at the seam junctions, and then get the outer seams blown out.
Same as when you first start dating a gal, you’ll notice it slow going around the crotch. You got three layers of fabric bound together by the heavy duty thread of the button eye.
Aint it a deerskin starter kit? I believe you saw you wear that in Miss Musclemann’s class.
