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.

Wild Pants

 Hello Readers. I love unusual patterns/colors/designs. Look at these wild animal pants. I love them. They are so much fun. They did not fit very well so let's work on that. 

Before and after. 

 

 Look at all the plant life! Look at the animals!!!

These pants were just a bit long and just a bit big around the waist. With a bit of re-s-zing these will be great. 

 

This is a look at the inside of the pants. I tried them on inside out and made marks down the side where I wanted to make the new side seam. This helps me make them fit really well and then I know exactly where to make my new side seam. 

 

I cut off a bit of length and made a new hem. 

 

i liked how the pnts fit but should I have made shorts?? It's about to be really hot and humid where I live. What's better, pants or shorts???

Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
