UNDER CONSTRUCTION...LITERALLY

Hi all,

As you may have noticed, the blog has been absent lately and it's because I am remodeling my house and do not have a sewing room to work in. It will be done soon enough and we'll be back in business.Hooray! Until then if you have pants that need saved or anything, hold off for a bit or Email me and we can talk. savemypants@gmail.com

I know, I know almost a year since my last post

Yes, I have a bad habit going, not posting to my blog, but I can change. Haha. Here is a brand new blog post with pictures and everything! I just finished saving a pair of pants from a very dear friend. There was a large tear down the back pocket leaving nothing to the imagination, so I fixed it up with a dark brown patch (as suggested) and now they are as good as new. Check it out

Step 1: examine the damage, this tear is pretty nasty and if it's not fixed it will only spread















Step 2: place patch on tear and pin in place















Step 3: sew and done. Now these pants are ready to be worn again

from pants to dresses

I have added a new branch of savemypants.com, I've started to make dresses out of old over-sized T-shirts. So far it has gone very well. Here are a few of the styles I have been working on, hopefully I will add some more soon.

This is a cool little strapless dress that ties at the side for adjustment.

This is a dress with the neck collar as the straps, added material at bottom for length.


This top can be worn as a halter top or a strapless tube top

This is a skirt with three adjustable ties on the side.

Welcome to SAVE MY PANTS

Hello and welcome to the SAVE MY PANTS blog page. SAVE MY PANTS is a pretty self explanatory idea, through the wear and tear of life things wear out. As I've gone through 23 years of my life I notice the thing that wears out more than underwear are pants. It was always a sad sad day when I finally couldn't wear my favorite pair of pants anymore. Whether it be because my foot kept getting caught in the huge hole on the knee, or it was a little drafty after the rip under the back pocket grew from a little hole to a free show. I could never just let the pants go, so I decided to do whatever I could to keep those favorite pants. Through strategic sewing and refusal to get those denim iron on patches, I found a way to SAVE MY PANTS. Not only do I save my own pants, but I started saving other peoples pants too. So if you find yourself sullen over a pair of pants about to kick the bucket, send them my way and I will be sure patch them up.
