Been diving into tailoring basics lately and it’s wholly changed how I approach my minimalist wardrobe. Rather of shelling out for perfectly fitting pieces, I’m learning to alter what I already have.Simple things like hemming pants or taking in a shirt make a huge difference in how polished an outfit looks.
It’s surprising how much better a basic t-shirt feels when it actually fits properly. I started with YouTube tutorials on hand stitching and working with a basic sewing machine. Right now, I’m tackling adjusting the fit of some thrifted chinos – hoping to give them a more modern, streamlined look.
Anyone else found tailoring skills essential for a minimalist wardrobe? What are some of the most impactful (and easiest!) alterations you’ve learned? Any tips for beginners trying to refine their sewing skills for clothing alterations?
