Giriş

Long skirts are often prone to tearing, especially ruffle skirts that may come apart at the ruffled hems due to accidentally stepping on the bottom or some other such mistake. Rather than discard a skirt with a rip, this guide will show you how to repair that tear and make your skirt wearable again.

Step 3 uses sewing pins, so you should be careful not to poke yourself. Attention to your work should prevent any danger of being poked.

Similarly, Steps 7-8 require a sewing needle. Similar attention to your work should prevent you from being poked by the needle.

Repairing your clothes is a great way to decrease the amount of waste we throw out, and hopefully this guide will be helpful in preserving your skirts a little longer.
