Sewing Project | Enlarging a Garment

This is @rumanaafroz, from Bangladesh.

Dear @lunasilver ma'am,
I hope you are very healthy by the grace of God.

I have been trying to attend your contest for several days but I could not find time. I was a little sick and I felt that I might not be able to attend your contest. But as soon as I felt a little better, I was able to find some time.
This is my daughter's salwar last year. I made it for my daughter. But this year it has become ridiculously small by about 5 inches. My daughter has grown 5" in a year. Due to which this year when she went to wear it, she found that it was much smaller than she needed. But over time, I did not get around to fixing it.
When I saw your contest, I remembered to fix it. I took steps to fix it right now.

I am going to show you in detail how I fixed this salwar. The original size of this salwar was 28 inches, I will now add 5" inches to it. Now, I will give the size of my daughter's salwar as 33 inches. For that 33 inches I need to take 5" fabric. I will design a little on the bottom part of the fabric and attach it to the old pants.

In the second step, I cut the fabric with a few horizontal stripes.

Step 6

In this step, I removed the stitches from 5 to 7 inches and attached the bottom part after removing them.

In this way, I made my small salwar suit bigger and more wearable. I hope you like my work. I bid you all farewell here with the wish of a healthy and safe life. My endless love and best wishes to you all.

Pero este es un concurso, y tú realizaste un maravilloso trabajo de ampliación.

No tengo mucho poder en mi voto, pero decidí premiar tu dedicación y trabajo con 5000 steem.

Ya fue transferido a tu billetera.

Espero que sigas participando de los proyectos de costura 👍🧵🧵😁

Thank you ma'am. No problem, I knew the topic.
Much love for your new contest.

Hello @rumanaafroz

I really liked how you lengthened the salwar making a feature of that section.

This week I've mainly had to shorten garments over here, but I'll keep this idea in my sewing folder.

Thank you very much for appreciating my work. There is a lot of patience and hard work behind every work. You are also very hardworking.
Best wishes to you.
