My favorite (and most commented on) was a pair of denim overalls that were too short, I cut across the worn out knees and inserted pinstripe denim-weight fabric to lengthen. Too cute.

I replaced with nice metal zippers as opposed to the plastic ones he tore to shreds. What is with these kids??<br /><br />Great tute and nice way to go, too. Yes, it was a pain to rip them out, and this is a fun way to forgo the seam ripping.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07464318343985100834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-90480826565886679372009-11-10T14:18:25.396-07:002009-11-10T14:18:25.396-07:00I love it!

Make sure that when you hem the top and bottom of the placket, you hem them <i>separately</i> rather than sewing them to each other, or the jacket won't open. :)<br /><br />I know you did that, but it's not completely clear in the instructions and, as I said, I would totally sew them together and have to tear them back out when I realized later.Rachel R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01598574256854766532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-15268512528656160652009-11-10T14:05:36.425-07:002009-11-10T14:05:36.425-07:00LOVE IT!

I wish I'd thought of this--it would have been so much easier. A friend got the skirt on clearance and gave it to me because she knew I liked it, which was nice and all, but I have one thing to say to that: It is NOT a gift if you have to put in a zipper yourself.Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00959242204818975269noreply@blogger.com
