My favourite pair of jeggings got a massive tear, seam to seam, across the knee. So I've cut the legs off, and hemming them to turn them into a cute pair of summer shorts :3
one leg down, one to go
Jeggings are the best piece of clothing EVER invented for women.
Hard agree ๐
That you did this rather than auto piff tells much. Good job!
Thank you! I have a row of back stitching to do above the hem I did, and then I'll trim the excess.
I love altering and mending over buying new! Especially as these are my fav jeggings and I'm not ready to part with them ๐ I have a skirt that's too large and too small in all the wrong places on me, that has a nice flora pattern - I'll use those to mend the pocket on the jorts I've created ๐
Anything with a nice pattern that is truely dead as a garment can create at least one patch
