Taking in clothes and getting it right the first time

I have been in this industry a long time, and I have seen some very strange situations.  My biggest challenge is usually when someone has attempted to alter a garment without understanding what they are doing.  This could be the owner of the garment, or it could be someone who is practicing at altering clothes.  Using other peoples clothes to practice on is not a good thing.  Sometimes I think we have not come out of the Victorian era when it comes to clothing alterations.  It seems like a hit and miss attitude exists.  In my book Genie Clothing Alteration Secrets Revealed, I explain the technique I used in my shops for taking in clothes.  It’s not a complicated technique.  In fact I think its quite simple, and it guarantees you get the alteration right every time.  If altering clothes is something you want to do, or learn about, then I recommend you go to the website www.geniecentre.com and buy the book.  I have a special offer which is a DVD on how to use the Jean Genie.  This is my new invention and is attached to the inside cover of my book.  With this invention you will be able to put a professional jean hem on your jeans.

Happy sewing
