Altering Pants!!

I need to update this blog more!! I have been busy, in my defense, I do have more than this blog post that I need to put up but I want to spread them out a little. Two weekends ago the hubby and I went to KC, KS for Valentine's Day/His 25th Birthday. We stayed in a hotel, went out to eat, and did some shopping. The trip was very fun and relaxing.

On the way back we stopped in Lansing to eat lunch and they happened to have a huge goodwill. I am a sucker for discount clothing and am so ready for garage sale season. We went in there and walked out with a Lucky Brand pair of jeans for him at $6.99.  Also a blue t-shirt for $1.75, and khaki pants at $3.99 for me.

Now I would like to point out that I am 5'1 and finding pants/jeans are extremely hard!! I needed another pair of khaki's for work and they had my size but not my length..well thanks to the wonderful community of Pinterest I remembered that I had found an article on how to hem jeans from Make It and Love It (here is a direct link to the post).  So I thought why not the pants are $3.99 and no one at work is going to care if they are not perfect.

Well tonight I decided to hem the pants and they actually look pretty good! I took some pictures so you can see how it looks now.

Here is after one leg was done (I forgot to take a before pic)

And here is the finished product

I admit I am not a big fan of the more flared leg but I think these turned out pretty good for my first try!!
Well that is all for now next blog I plan to show you my adorable baby sweatpants!
