When family finds out your sewing garments

Yesterday was a tough day. My SIL is in a group that do live action role play or LARP for short. Just as with Civil War re-enactment they have to wear period costumes.

I spent 6 1/2 hours altering a pair of LARP pants. The fabric was canvas. Every seam was surged then sewed down. 4 hours to unsew, 2 1/2 hours to resew. He is 5'11" and weighs nothing. He purchased a size large. His waist is 29! I removed 6 1/2 inches of fabric and he still had wiggle room. I told my daughter to feed him Pecan Pie if they are still to big!

This picture is before I went back in the back seam and took out another
2 inches. When I hung them up next to his jeans, I realized they were still to big.

At least they did fit and my daughter said he was parading around the house with them on for quite some time. LOL!
