Summer trousers

Bought these pants cheap in a sale to use in the summer or on holiday. They were a size too big round the waist but I loved the ticking effect of the fabric. The legs were very strange, a bit sailorish, flaring slightly but short, and when they were rolled up and fastened with the parachute tabs, they drooped on the inner side.
I took the waist in with a couple of simple tucks and wore the pants on holiday.
Couldn't wait to come home to alter the legs! I let the hems right down and narrowed the hems by about an inch. Rehemmed them using tape to get the maximum length.

This is before

After, don't look so different, but fit and wear so much better.

Who says great refashions have to be enormous/time consuming/completely change a garment?

Not any of us here!

Nice job.
