Too short pants refashion

Found these fabulous grey Banana Republic pants. But just an odd length.

Not really capris but not really a good length. I wanted to try and see if I could lengthen them. Feeling the bottom hem, I thought there might be enough fabric. 

Time to pull out the seam rippers! And then I went to town ripping away. Yup it was double folded. 


I ironed the heck out of the pants to even it out. 

It was already serged, I did a tiny hem, and stitched blind hem. 

Done! Longer. 


Now I don't feel so weird wearing them to work. :) So always check to see if you can lengthen things!

Cheers,
Lauren

  2. Yes! Anything with a big cuff on the bottom tends to have a lot of excess fabric! :)
