🪡 In this video, Jo shows you how to resize a skirt that's too small, sharing practical alteration techniques that can help you achieve a more comfortable fit without having to start again from scratch.

🧵 In this video, Jo covers:
✔️ How to assess where a skirt needs extra room
✔️ Different methods for increasing the size of a skirt
✔️ Tips for maintaining the garment's original style and proportions
✔️ Achieving a professional-looking finish after alterations
