Okay, sew (har har I crack myself up) a lot can be accomplished by adding in a dart or two at the waistband of some pants/skirt. You can take it in quite a bit. My ass to waist ratio is pretty high, so I actually often have to do this with off-the rack clothes.
Hemming is pretty easy as well. I have to do this quite a bit too (I’m short as well as having a big ass [emoji23]).
I’d stay away from working with knits if you are a rank beginner. They can get buckling and be frustrating. Woven fabrics are much easier to work with.
There are TONS of great YouTube videos that can help you learn these simple techniques.
Orchid! I LOVE YOUR MURALS!!!!
And here is my crafty contribution! I JUST finished painting the longboard I’m making, and here is an example of one of my copperplate etchings. The copperplate etchings are what I show, my other crafties are just for fun. I am a firm believer in the power of craft!

Your artwork is gorgeous! I especially like the effect you have on the paper-doll cutouts! And that octopus piece - my daughter would LOVE that one. She wants to get a master's in marine biology, specializing in octopi and squid!

OOTD

The BFF and 3 mojitos convinced me to put this up here.

YIKES.

Oh my goodness! I'm new here and want to look like this! You look so amazing! Can I ask how much did you weigh before and how long did it take you to look like this?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
