Heyhey,

I know I said I would upload the tutorial for the retro print blouse today, but the pattern is already packed and I don’t remember the number of it. So I will post that next week when I can tell you which pattern I used. 😉

I had this pants I really liked, but I gained 1.5 sizes within the last 2 years, so it gotten so tight it was uncomfortable. I decided to make it wider. I used a really bright fabric for doing so, if you use something similar to the original fabric it probably will not be noticed as an later addition 😉

so thats my pants I started with

I cut the side seam out from waistband to hem

then I used that seam as pattern

I added 0.75cm to each side, for making the pants wider and the twice the seam allowance all around, if you just wanna change the look of your pants you just add twice the seam allowance all around, if you need more ease add more cm

then I cut the fabric, I went for a crazy choice, and by now I am thinking maybe something more subtle would have been better, so choose wisely;)

now pin the strip in the side seam

leave seam allowance at top and hem

sew and serge

now double fold the seam allowance at waistband and hem

and sew

and I fit in my pants again, picture of me in it yet to come, it is also in some box, when I found it I will take a picture;)

I hope this was helpful for you, let me know what you do to your pants and how it turns out! If there are any questions left, I would love to hear them.

keep sewing and smiling
