DIY Dress Alteration from maxi to midi dress.


Since Covid 19, I cancelled gym membership which I was a member in for about 10 years, and it's been about a year I have not done any regular workouts. I've been thinking to go back to gym, but been so lazy for exercise. With putting on weight with thicker waist, thicker legs, and so on, I feel a bit uncomfortable in the dress with elastic waist, and wanted to make even skirted dress. So altered to midi from maxi dress.



Cut like picture above; cut elastic waist fabric of the dress and cut skirt right above gathered skirt.
After cutting, gathered skirt needs another cut as uneven skirt length. 
Below picture shows after cuts, and sew to connect top shirt to skirt, and bottom skirt is wider than main skirt, it needs to be gathered.

DIY Cat Harness & Leash Set and Pattern

Image
I have made an harness jacket for my cat. I let him play without any lease or harness on back garden, but if we need to play at front garden, or go to camping, some harnesses and leash set needed.  Harness jacket vest area finished with hook and loop tape which is adjustable to cat's vest size, so it will fit on him even though he put on weights. I thought to use hook and loop tape for neck of harness jacket but it might make neck strap too thick and uncomfortable for cat to move his head. So I ended up using slide plastic buckle. Because I made harness jacket with cute cat designed cotton fabric, my cat can wear as jacket as well without a leash. Preparation: Cotton fabric for inner, outer, and buckle straps, batting, 10mm buckle clip, 10m triglide adjustable buckle 1, D ring 1, snap hook 1, poly strap 2m Strap measurement for buckles - width 4 times of the buckle glide hole size, and length 4.25 inches for the short one and 7.75 inches for the long one. Strap material : as per
