Sewing Frustration by herussell

Sewing Frustration

I do not like sewing. It frustrates me and makes me tense. Unfortunately, it seems I cannot find a single pair of pants for work that don't drag the floor. I know dress slacks are made longer for women who want to wear heels, but these are knit pants made for being active... grrrr

Friends, I am looking forward to catching up with your projects. Thank you for your patience.
I found tape you iron on it instead of sewing. Very easy way to shorten pants :-)

@ekeim I agree with EkeimB, I also use tape..much easier and faster.

I'm withyou on the hating sewing front, I try my best but most times I end up giving up and asking my MIL. I've head the tape is good too though.

@ekeim @bruni @coolgirlsar I'm glad I'm not the only one to struggle with a needle & thread. I've tried the iron-on tape with an older pair of these pants. It came undone after several washings. So sad. I always like the easier route best.

Love the black on black! I feel your pain. I don't wear heels and am average to short height. So it can be hard to find pants the right length. I am about 5'4" so I can wear the "short" pants at Kohl's pretty well...like Dockers,etc.but not dress pants so much....

@espyetta Thank you. I'm 5'6" and I've started to need to find petites (or short at Kohls). I've never had to do that before. Is society getting taller?

Great shot, Am I the only one who loves to sew?

@quietpurplehaze Thank you, Hazel. I guess we can use the frustrations in life :)

@bizziebeeme Thank you. I sincerely doubt you're the only one, but I've not seen many sewing machine photos on 365 (Jan. 18th). I guess I'll have to look :)

This photo is beautifully lit and beautifully exposed. I love the composition and the background information about your sewing frustration. All round excellent.

You captured the textures so well. Great shot! I share your frustration with sewing although I did enjoy it for a time when the kids were little. I still have my sewing machine - unused for 30 some years with regards to sewing, but I do use it as a desk of sorts :-) Oh, yes....when you hem, use Mystik cloth tape instead. A lot faster.
