Turning baggy trousers into skinny ones how to blog!

What I don't share enough is my love for making clothes and fashion! I have shared a few of the things I have recently made/altered but afterall I did originally want to share everything I have made! I just seem to forget to take pics lol! Anywho I want to start shareing my love of fashion and d.i.y style so this will be first how to...blog :). I bought a maternity bundle of ebay not so long ago,and one of the items is a pair of black with silvery grey pinstripes trousers which I really like but are far to long and baggy for my likeing! So a quick look on google led me to these handy how to vids n tutorials.

This video is amazing it showed me how to turn my baggy trousers into skinny ones in a matter of 4 steps! The song was pretty catchy to :).

I also found this on the awesome website cutoutandkeep.net

Personally I think that the youtube vid is alot better than the tutorial on cutoutandkeep.net as they used pins in the vid and in the tutorial it suggests using a pen to mark lines..which just doesn't sound to accurate or good for when sewing! 

This is what the trousers looked like originally



                                                      Very long and very flared for my shape!

I will get back to you on this when I have done it later as even though I tried to save the last attempt of doin this as a draft I couldn't find it to edit! Also my sleepy Clark got back from a festival last night n seems to be takin full advantage of bein in a bed able to sleep in! And our bedroom is where my sewing desk is lol!
