EN: to unstitch, to rip a seam
Before you can alter a pair of jeans or fix a dress, you have to magtastas first. It's the act of carefully undoing stitches, the opposite of sewing. It's a job for a seam ripper and a lot of patience. It’s the deconstruction phase before the reconstruction, like breaking up with someone before you can work on yourself. #hugot
Specific to undoing stitches or seams in fabric.
