A suggestion for next time if you want to get the maximum length out of your pants: instead of hemming by rolling in the fabric or "wrapping" the bias around the raw edge of the fabric, use the bias band like a facing instead. Stitch it right side to right side onto the raw hem of the pants, understitch the seam allowance to the bias tape, then fold the entire bias band to the inside and press it really well. Now the bias band is completely invisible on the inside. Then stitch down the remaining folded edge. This way, the design of the pants remains the same and you will only have used less than 1cm of the original pants in the seam.

It was soooo good seeing Momo🥰 . I absolutely love the van idea with the bed . It looks so cozy . I could imagine to lay there all snuggled up with some hot chocolate or tea and watch the leaves falling .🍂 <br>Your fall pants looking cool . It’s it always so exciting to put your own twist and ideas on it and show it off . Thank you Estel 😊

When using the stitch ripper put the red ball on the inside of the seam, This will help avoid cutting the fabric by accident.

Ohhh my thr pants look so good! I saved some of the fitted pants I have that don't fit anymore and excited for the possibility of repurposing them. Thank you Estel! ❤❤❤❤

I'm working on a short pattern, my very first one. One option is to iron the seam allowance on one side and to top stitch it. I was happy to finally meet the technique you often use in your video. I also realised that the hem of my short is 4 cm, like your pant and now I know why, that's great to finally know what I'm doing 😂 I forgot to say : I also like the way you see the clothes : never finished, can still be worked on.

I don't typically like the look of pants with a side insert, but I LOVE yours! It's not crazy wide, and simple but still interesting. First version I've seen that actually makes me want to make some!
