Just tried it on some old, barely worn Capri pants and it worked wonderfully. Thank you so much!

You would need to taper the leg in. If it’s jeans one side of your leg pant will have double stitching ( two visible stitches next to one another going along the side your pants) and one side of your pants will have a regular straight stitch ( stitch visible on the inside) You would need to pick the side the has a regular straight stitch and taper the pant legs. I hope this helps and isn’t confusing. Let me know if you have anymore questions?

Usually when I do this the width of the leg is too large for the hem. I never know how to fix it.

It never occurred to me to cut both legs at the same time! What a neat trick.

OH my gosh Crystal you will love it. I love up-cycling old clothing. You should totally get one. You don’t need an expensive one to sew clothing. Any sewing machine that does a straight and zigzag will work. 😀

Oh my gosh YAY Glad it was on time. I do this every year with Olegs pants. It’s perfect because he grows in height to quick and his waist kind of stays the same so once the pants get short on him I make them into shorts. 😀 😀

I think I’d definitely do this if I could sew. With a 7 year old and 4 year old, I would love to re-purpose their clothes. This is such a good idea! Maybe I need to go ahead and buy a sewing machine….
