I would have never dreamed I would begin doing my own alterations! But my wife had a new sewing machine she had never used, my sister sews and is a great teacher and I have begun watching videos on YouTube. I picked up five various cheap shirts from our local thrift shop to practice on. I won’t even begin to think of working on one of my good shirts until I have developed some decent skills. I’m sure looking forward to making my clothes fit perfectly. Good times at the sewing machine!
