Skinny Business

You ever buy two of the exact same pants in completely different sizes and not know it?

Yea me too! lol

I actually have not the SLIGHTEST idea of how I ended up with a size 6 and a size 10 of the same EXACT pants.

And it's funny because I remember hating to wear them (when I was bigger) because I remembered that they always rode up and were high-water (obviously the size 6)
But then there were times that that just didn't happen... ?

Like... what was I even thinking to have not noticed that for at least 2 years?!

ANYWAY

Now I fit the size 6 and the size 10 fits the way I showed you in my earlier post about them.

Here's a quick reminder:

So I'm going to keep the size 6 pair as regular wide-legged trousers and tailor the size 10 in to skinny jeans pants.

Everything I needed.

I put the pants on inside out so that I could pin them to my body

I carefully removed the pants with the pins still in it

I used the fabric pen to draw a line for me to sew on by tracing the pins

first attempt

After trying on the pants and re-pinning them again, I retraced another line and sewed over that one.  That actually happened one more time after this one.

Finished back

Pretty satisfied

I then cut off all of the excess fabric of the pants

AFTER cutting off the fabric, I felt like I should have reinforced the pants with a zig-zaggish like stitch (#29)

To do stitch #29, I had to change the presser foot on the machine from the "J" foot to the "N" foot

The button was also missing from the inside of the pants so I made a mark with the fabric pen where the button should go

I hand sewed the button on to the pants

Voila!!





My Clyde advised me to cuff the bottom of the pants

Thanks for reading!!

Tell me what you think!
