...you knew I was keeping the 3X sweatpants didn't you...haha...
...after I washed them in super hot water...the first thing I did was to get out my little fabric shaver...and shaved off all of the little nubs...
...a lot of fuzzy shavings...the red is left over from
the last thing I shaved...
...so this is one of those garments that has a wide band of elastic stitched all the way around...so I don't really want to take the entire waistband off...
...so I just ripped the stitches at each side and the back from the waistband and the three rows of stitching through the elastic...
...and then stitched up and removed the extra fabric...
...and these are the skinnier sweatpants...
...by far the most difficult part of this was putting the drawstring back in...but I finally taped the drawstring to a long tapestry needle and that worked well...
...and succeeded in getting it all the way around...
...what's in your workbasket this week?...
~Have a lovely day!
...and here's today's retro post...

Clever y ou for figuring out how to get the draw string through the channel. You can also use a safety pin if it isn't too wide. Better yet buy a bodkin. It comes in very handy.
