A Simple Update.. Plus an Eco-friendly Solution

The best part about sewing is being able to get clothes to fit your personal body shape. 

Before:
Too big, too much white, sweat pants.

After:
Well fitted, with the perfect splash of white, sweat shorts. 


I would also like to share an additional sewing project with you ... Eco-Friendly Cleaning Cloths.  

I decided to make these from a single large yellow towel I had. I liked the color but I had just one and it didn’t fit in with the rest. 

Here’s what I did:

First, I made my own bias tape with some cotton material by cutting it into strips and then pressing the back. 



Next, I cut my towel into squares.




Then, I sewed the bias tape onto the sides of the square cloths to prevent fraying. 

I think they turned out really cute. : )

The shorts look great on you - perfect fit. And "ecofriendly" cloths get a huge thumbs up!

Oh so true, one of the many great advantages of sewing is that everything in your wardrobe fits.

Too small? Too big? No problem for us! I completely agree. I like the new shorts. Good job.
