Even though I made a new pair of flannel pajamas, I'm not quite ready to let go of the old pair just yet. I thought if I just mend them I can get a couple more months out of them.
I found holes and fraying fabric previously backed with small pieces of interfacing near the pocket opening. Ah, why didn't I interface the waistband? That would surely given it more strength.
For now, it's held together with some more thread.
Happy Sewing!
I had a pair of lovely rayon pants I wore for years and when the thighs and seat wore out, I turned the legs upside down and into the "skirt" an empire waist nightgown. I even crocheted a little trim. Perfect summer nightgown.
ReplyDeleteThen, I ut on weight and split the bodice side. Patched in two pieces of knit...once again, perfect with extra give.
I just patched in a gore from the last remnants of the pants for where the old fabric gave out on the side back.
I am wondering when I will finally give up on trying to rescue it.
