You might recall this alteration ... or not. The pants still fit just fine but are best suited to be worn with a raised heel ... which I tend to wear once in a never moon for the sake of realistic practicality at my business casual post. So (using this tutorial -- copied from this better tutorial), I sewed off and rolled up the wide part of the ankles ... in the hopes of astounding you fine readers.
I'm quite confident that I was successful.

Happy play, indeed.
Oh! Those turned out so cute! I have a similar pair of pants that I might do the same thing to! (If I ever fit in them ever ever again). You look amazing Grace! And I just want to squeeze those little baby legs! (Your kids', not yours, ha!)
ReplyDeleteYou're so pretty. And I have a pair of those pants floating around that I um, never wear but just bc I hate to iron and they're like the broomstick skirts of days gone by, ya, wrinkly. But maybe if I cropped them the wrinkles would work...
ReplyDeleteLove how those turned out. Man I need to figure out how to work that sewing machine I insisted on getting for Christmas. But that would require actually learning what a bobbin is, and I prefer to just make that one up. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this. I've been trying to take in some pants and this will help!
