Leggings too short? Here’s my DIY fix!

Remember my fabulous thrifted Norwegian style leggings?

Unfortunately after a second washing, calamity struck and they shrank nearly 20cm in length!

Any idea how I oh-so-quickly lengthened those too short leggings?

Here’s my DIY fix:

I grabbed those shrunken leggings & chopped the bottom half of the sleeves from a coordinating sweater

sliced off the bulky hem on the bottom of the leggings

popped the chopped sleeves over the legging legs with right sides facing & raw edges lined up and then stitched them together

zigzagged over the outside seam for extra strength

and my leggings were once again fit for the outside world!
