To The Seamstresses In the Audience

[pt_tangles]

I have this pair of forest green corderoy pants that I absolutely love. Unfortunately, when I bought them, it was skirt season for me, and when I finally got around to wearing them, I had already lost a ton of weight. Now they look like a parachute!

Is there an easy way to make a pair of denim cut pants about 4 or 5 sizes smaller without wrecking the lines?

Not really. You'd need to pull them all the way apart, recurve the seams and move the pockets most likely to get them to sit right.

Damn :( Any ideas of what to do with them? They are practically brand new.

Find a local seamstress/tailor and have THEM do all that work?

Bah, it would probably be cheaper to just buy a new pair. I hate getting rid of new clothes, though. It is the only bad part about losing weight :)

Hey, do you have a local FreeCycle group? That way you're giving to someone who needs what you can't use. I need to type up the next listing myself. I've got a handful of really nice bras that are too big (my daughter's foster parents didn't know how to measure properly for her) and a bunch of other clothes that nobody here is going to use.

I don't know about Freecycle, but I have a bag of clothes set to go down to the Sally An. I will prolly stick them in there. Or in one of the Diabetes clothing drop boxes they have set up all over town.

Do you have any local half-way houses or women's shelters? They can usually use those sorts of things. Barring that, a seamstress. I do wish there was a way though. I've been losing weight like mad, and keep having to buy new jeans every month or so is getting really old.
