I had to make an even row of running stitch along the trousers before I started to give me a foundation row. Do you know, I would do it to my own trousers! Jo x

Trouser crochet
Here is a little upcycled project I made this yesterday. Big sis had lovely pink linen trousers that were too big for her last year and this year they were a little short so I added a crochet edge using chains. I added a few bows, just because I saw them in my sewing basket and hey presto summer trousers.

What a fantastic idea! I will definitely give that a go with my little girl's trousers - the bows really finish the look perfectly - and I agree, wish I could do the same to my trousers! Chrissie x

What a good idea and it could be used to edge cotton blankets and table cloths. That's another idea on my list!
ReplyDeleteAnother great idea beautifully accomplished, Jo - I bet Big Sis loves her new look pants - and maybe Little Sis wants some too? Oh yes!
ReplyDeleteOn the same subject - I've just bought a great book on crocheted trims and borders and will share about it in my next post.
Have a hap-hap-happy weekend!

What a lovely way to embellish some trousers, and also an excellent idea to add some length! x

Such a neat idea..I have been meaning to add crochet edges to jeans and trousers but somehow not done it. Now would be the time to finally stop thinking and start doing :) Loved the neat finish and the added bow too!!
ReplyDeleteThanks all. What else would it be good for? Any ideas? Sleeves, lapels, collars, pillow case edges... oh the time! Jo x
ReplyDeleteCute way to add length! They look very sweet :)
