Tutorial: How to add extra lenght to your kids pants

Scroll down for english, please. 

Todos sabemos que num dia os nossos filhos vestem as suas calças preferidas, e no dia a seguir ficam-lhe demasiado curtas, certo? Eu, pelo menos, acho que já passámos todos por ai. E isso é o que aconteceu recentemente com todas as calças de ganga da minha filha. Continuam a servir-lhe, excepto no comprimento. Para resolver esse probleminha, e evitar ter de comprar calças novas tão cedo, optei por alongá-las um pouco. 

We all know that one day your child is wearing his fave pants and the next they are too short, right? Well, I think we've all been there. That's what recently happen to most of my girl's jeans. They still fit her except for lenght. To fix this little issue and avoid buying new ones so soon, I decided to add in some extra lenght.

Fica aqui um breve passo a passo de como o fazer, caso também precisem.
Here's a quick tutorial on how to do it, in case you need to as well. 

1. 
Começa por descoser a bainha e apenas um pouco das laterais das pernas das calças. 
Start by unpicking the hems and a bit of the legs side seams. 

2. 
Mede a largura da perna da frente e de trás. 
Measure the width of front and back leg piece. 

3. 
Corta duas peças (uma para a frente e uma para trás) para cada perna. Cada peça deverá medir de largura o mesmo que as vossas pernas e de comprimento o extra que querem acrescentar às calças x2 + 2cm para as costuras. Imagina que queres deixar as calças 5cm mais compridas, então cortas 12cm de comprimento. Dobra essas peças ao meio no comprimento, com o avesso com avesso, e vinca com o ferro. 
Cut two pieces (one front and one back) for each leg. Each piece should be width the same as your leg's, and lenght the one you need to add to your kid's pants x2 +2cm for seams. Image you need to add 5 cm more, you should cut a 12 cm piece. Fold them lenght wise, wrong sides together and press.

 4. 
Prende cada uma das peças às calças, e cose-as, chulei-a as costuras (se o tecido tiver algum padrão, certifica-te que ao virar para o direito este fica na posição correta). 
Pin it to your pants and sew, finish seams (if there is a pattern on the fabric, make sure it won't be upside down once you sew). 



5. 
Cose à máquina o lado que tem o pesponto na costura primeiro. Passa a ferro. 
Sew the side with the topstitching first. Press seam. 

6. 
Pesponta por onde já estava antes. Fecha o outro lado das calças e vinca a ferro a costura para cima. Podes pespontar a faixa que adicionaste ou deixar assim. 
Topstitch in the same place it was before. Close the other side of legs and press seams towards the top. You can either topstitch the band or just leave as it. 


Parabéns! Acabaste de arranjar as calças da tua criança e evitaste uma visita à loja mais próxima. No próximo post trago-vos outra forma de remendar umas calças e prolongar a sua vida. 
Congratulations! You have finished fixing your kid's pants and avoided a trip to the nearest store. I will bring you another quick fixing tip, that will allow you to extend pants life, in my next post.
