Here are some tips to alter your own sweater

• Take a picture at every step of the process, it is a smart idea to take photos as you disassemble a garment. In case, when changing your own clothes, you need to record each move so that you can easily remember how to put them back together afterward.

          It can be very hard to remember measurements, and maybe you can forget            a detail you should have measured; hence, it is a good idea to lay a ruler in              each picture on your clothes. Be sure that the ruler is positioned in such a              manner that it is simple to observe the measured length.

• Mark the lines you intend to cut with chalk if your goal is to make your garment smaller. Sew the dress back together, then try it on to see how it fits. Before you cut anything, do this!
• You would either need to sew a new seam or put some sort of patch over it if a garment has been ripped or torn. A rip has a likely risk of tearing again in any case, so it might be best to repurpose an old garment full of holes.
• It is worth altering your own clothes, experimenting, and making mistakes make you more experience in altering clothes. But while doing experimenting you should know your limitations. If an alteration is going beyond your skills and capabilities, don’t worry, and don’t afraid to pay professional tailors in the market. 

If you are really passionate about sewing and want to learn on your own then it will be time-consuming. Remember that if things really go wrong, getting a professional repair of the damage you have done can potentially cost you more time and money, so experiment, if you like, just tread carefully.
