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.

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 ๐Ÿ˜‚ 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 ๐Ÿ˜‚

Anything with a nice pattern that is truely dead as a garment can create at least one patch
