Tutorial - shortening a pants

Not so important tutorial, but since some of my friends asked me how. I thought I'll just make a tutorial out of it.

Start with, wear the pants and fold the pipe to the length that you want



Mark it with sewing pin



Take the pants off :P



Measure the folding part, here is 7,5 cm



Mark 4 cm from the folding side, of course this is depends on how long the pants is originally, what kind of model etc.



Open the fold and put few sewing pins to make sure that it won't move when you cut it



Cut it



Fold the pipe 4 cm



Iron it



Folded half inside so you got 2 cm measurement



Iron it again



Put on the sewing pins so it wont move during sewing



Sew it



Cut the excess thread



Finish!!!



A happy customer :)

WR - Overgooier

From a hand me down, I take out the sleeves and collar. Put a basic A line dress pattern on it. The first plan is to make it with facing on the neck and sleeves, but there not enough fabric to work with. So I put biasband instead.

3019 look-a-like

It is imposibble to get the original pattern of Roos 3019 anymore. Sometimes if you're lucky, you can find it on the marktplaats (Dutch local ebay site) but the price is so ridiculous. Luckily Ottobre has a pattern that look like 3019. It can be found at Ottobre 3/2009, Three-way dress no. 18, size 92. I made it with printed cotton.

Sundress for me

Still using the idea from this website http://www.kukyideas.com/journal/2007/04/shirred-dress-tutorial.html. But instead of making the tube, I opted to shirred averything first the sew the sideseams. and I added the length to make it as a tunic instead of a blouse.

My favorite pattern, so easy to make with the ultimate result... size 92, fabric: printed cotton
