Lengthening a Skirt


Tara made a skirt in Apparel Design in high school. The teacher would not allow her to alter the pattern in any way, so it turned out too short. Tara wore it one day, but it was uncomfortable, she had to sit just right because it was so short.

For one of Tara's Personal Progress projects, she chose "Learn basic clothing alteration and repair techniques as you adapt your wardrobe to standards of modest dress." She sewed another section of blue around the bottom, and now she can wear the skirt. I was proud of her.
