Here is a nice website with ideas for alterations to clothing that is too big!

Thats some great ideas, I really like the back riveting to accentuate the waist line. However... now to find time to actually do this??? I bought a really cheap sewing machine from Target. Costed less than $30 and it wasn't even on sale back in November. I have not used it yet...

Ditto on finding time - or, in my case, also the sewing machine-operating competence! I just gave mine away to this at-risk high school kid who wants to be a designer, because I gave up on ever producing a straight seam with that thing. I leave it to the tailor - thankfully, there's one just a block away from my house. I've kept my pear shape after the weightloss, so I still often have the waist taken in at the back on my pants. Tailoring works miracles - I remember one time I had the waist taken in on my jeans and the next time I wore them, 2 people commented on how I had lost weight - no one noticed it before.

You always find and have so much great info on everything!

Great info!!!

Ooooh, I am definitely bookmarking her blog. I am not that savvy with a sewing machine, but my mom is. Thanks for posting this!
