Sewing Help

I bought a haloween costume on line. And of course my big butt is snug. I wanted to make it a little bigger. Nothing fancy the top of the costume covers where I need an inch (or 2) added on. My problem is it looks like it's going to be alot more work then I'm capable of. Is there any way someone could talk me through this? Or offer your services!

ok...how much bigger? look at the seam...how much allowance is there? if the seam is only 1/4 inch, you will have to add a piece of fabric...

if you have a nice big seam...you may be able to just undo the stiching where you need to expand it and then restitch a smaller seam...


let me know if that made sense...or you need more help...

Of course it has to be that I have to add frabic. Hopefully I won't screw it up!

Re: Sewing Help

you might want to add a ribbon or something...it could give it a little extra flare

sorry...I meant to say...extend the seam with a ribbon... instead of adding fabric
