The past few mornings I decided to tackle my backlog of alterations. The huge mammoth basket full of clothes belonging to me, my friends, and my poor husband (his name is Charlie btw). I say poor husband because somehow it always seems to take the longest to get to his stuff. Maybe it's because usually I find guys clothes boring. Whatever the reason, I decided to start clearing that stuff out and to start with the Charlie's clothes. This morning I decided to tackle a pair of gray dress pants that were absolutely swallowing him. Really, it was ridiculous and made him seem like he was being swallowed by a big gray clown-suit.
I figured this was a great chance to show you guys how to taper a basic and unlined pair of pants! I think this is a super handy tool because you can use it to make wide legged pants skinny pants or even just to take something in a bit that fits you a little too loose. |
