A3 SEAM RIPPERS

The first thing you do when you are starting a refashion is remove the pocket. You don't want to cut into the pocket when you cut out your new shirt. You may want to reattach the pocket or you may not, but you don't want a partially cut into pocket hangin' out in the wrong place on your shirt. Therefore it has to go. See ya.


Seam ripping is easy. Just go slow and don't gouge the fabric. You don't want a hole. You only want to cut the small threads. Once the pocket is fully removed there will be a few threads remaining. You will want to pull these out. Here is a little trick for you. Get a lint remover and run it along the spot where the unwanted threads are lingering and then you won't have to pull them out one at a time. If you need a more detailed post on seam ripping just leave a comment.

P.S. Seam Rippers are cheap and one of the most necessary tools in sewing. They are a few dollars at most and you can pick one up at your local Walmart or fabric store.
