alteration seeks function

transformation heard round the internet.

You might recall this alteration ... or not. The pants still fit just fine but are best suited to be worn with a raised heel ... which I tend to wear once in a never moon for the sake of realistic practicality at my business casual post. So (using this tutorial -- copied from this better tutorial), I sewed off and rolled up the wide part of the ankles ... in the hopes of astounding you fine readers.

I'm quite confident that I was successful.


Successful and the proud owner of happy-play-friendly clam diggers.
Directly before the remains of Sebastian's sick nose bubble fell directly into my happy mouth.


And directly before, during, and after Julia pitched a fit about Sebastian winning my arms' attention 1.1 seconds before she did.


Happy play, indeed.

  1. Oh! Those turned out so cute! I have a similar pair of pants that I might do the same thing to! (If I ever fit in them ever ever again). You look amazing Grace! And I just want to squeeze those little baby legs! (Your kids', not yours, ha!)

  2. You're so pretty. And I have a pair of those pants floating around that I um, never wear but just bc I hate to iron and they're like the broomstick skirts of days gone by, ya, wrinkly. But maybe if I cropped them the wrinkles would work...

  3. Love how those turned out. Man I need to figure out how to work that sewing machine I insisted on getting for Christmas. But that would require actually learning what a bobbin is, and I prefer to just make that one up. :)
