Fashion designer Lindsay Raspi never took a sewing lesson. She taught herself to sew because she had to alter every bit of clothing she bought.
"I just got tired of paying an extra $30 or $40 to get something to fit," says Raspi, who is 5 feet 1 inch tall and a size 0. "From that I realized if I can hem a pair of pants, I can make a skirt."
FOR THE RECORD - An item in the Oct. 30 Modern Life section gave an incorrect price for Guinot's Eye Masque. It sells for $37.
The Sun regrets the error.
