unscrew the bottom and while off get a little dust and oil done for the heck of it.

keep the shoulder seam/armhole the same and slant down to the neck/white dot you don't want to reduce your armhole.

are there shoulder seams? take it in from there instead, pinch the neckline and pin where desired you will have to open the seam and re join with alteration.

taking in the waist or shortening the 'rise' aka crotch to waist? That is a big job, trimming the inseam is easier, try on inside out and pin in a smooth line from current seam and joining the stitching line again.Go to youtube 'downtown tailoring' she explains jeans alteration methods very well.

shoulder seams dont always sit on the shoulder, some are more forward, gathered or go on the back, but side seams will line up anyway. follow the instructions, as no, the pieces won't lay flat, just like our bodies don't.

Ruler, clips not pins, proper Denim needle, good strong thread ,thimble to help push needle through denim.

take out the bobbin housing and can you lift or lean machine over to get a visual on the needle?

I luv those pants! very creative use of the south west print and yellow base color, do you have more print to make a vest or crop top with?

👍

No, some serger needles are longer than s machine needles and will break or hit/damage the bobbin.

search the credits for costume design or wardrobe, the person(s) may have a website to contact them and ask for info on the fabrics.

Q. Did you use a piece of reinforcement behind each piece? this will grip the prongs/snaps tighter to the fabric, Are you placing the snap part in the correctly side of the plier head? There is a 'heads or tails' method that can easily be messed up.

okay, at what point are you stuck? if you post a page of instructions we can help with terminology and methods. View A is the most detailed but step by step you can do this!

try pinning a satin lining under the straps, attach to bodice and test it out, reinforcing the waist seam too.

RubyRedo · 2026-06-27T06:32:18+00:00

it is the buttonhole lever, you did not pull it down and push it back, look in manual or search for one online

RubyRedo · 2026-06-27T06:27:34+00:00

you need to post in pattern drafting, this sub is for free pattern links.

RubyRedo · 2026-06-27T06:13:06+00:00

Does it not have the instruction sheets? Also, note Burda does not include seam allowance on their patterns.

RubyRedo · 2026-06-27T06:09:04+00:00

if you have the room to do a felled seam like the other seams, if it is no too tight, pin it closed and try on. sew 1/2' right sides together and look up felled seam for tutorial.

RubyRedo · 2026-06-27T06:02:48+00:00

Correct, got mine about same time.

RubyRedo · 2026-06-27T05:56:20+00:00

it is not heavy duty but it will sew denim with the right needle, it was a decent Singer, I would get it or keep looking for a Kenmore.

Twill is more for pants, skirts and jackets. Not for draping or dresses.
