More Wild Pants

 Hello Readers. I love to sew for a lot of reasons. One of them is that when I find unusual fabrics, I can make them work for me. These plaid pants were just like that. Look at those plaids, the pattern matching was phenomenal. I have never matched my stripes or plaids this well. Let's make them fit. 

Before and after. 

These plaid pants need some help to fit well. I just need to make new side seams and make them a bit shorter. 

These pants were not huge on me, I just needed to take a little bit off the sides. 

I made my new side seams with my sewing machine because I heard on the "Love to Sew" Podcast that serger seams are not as as strong as sewing machine seams. I never knew that! 

These fit better and I made them shorter with a new hem too. 

Now that I have finished making these I can't help but wonder if I should have made them shorts. Summer will be here very soon. It's really hot where I live... I'm thinking about shorts now. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
