Shorten a Jumpsuit

 Hello Readers. I love a jumpsuit and I love green so of course I liked this piece from COSTCO! That's right. It's from the same place you can get delicious baked goods and get new tires for your car. (I love Costco, they are the best. They also treat their workers really well.) The fit was OK but it was just a bit too long on me. Should I shorten the pant legs or cut the legs off and make a romper? You can probably guess what I did. It is hotter than an oven outside, I made the romper. 

Before and after.  

This jumpsuit was made of that quick drying fabric that outdoorsey people wear because it dries fast. I have to be honest, I am not very outdoorsey. I do like fast drying clothes though. And let's give a round of applause to that drawstring! It is really doing a lot of work to make this jumpsuit fit. 

 

I cut the legs off and made sure to leave a 3 1/2 inch inseam. When I hem the edges, I will have a 3 inch inseam and that will work well for me. 

 

I used my serger on the cut edges. That will prevent any fraying. I also turned the edge under and sewed it down with my sewing machine. That will make a nice neat hem on each leg. 

 

And believe it or not... I went outside. It was morning and nice enough to go for a walk. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
