Converting full length bib longs to 3/4s??

[Frazer]

I bought some cheap bib longs from Aldi...but I didnt get the sizing quite right so they are perhaps a little too long. However, the are relatively tight all the way down to my calves and fit well up to that point. So I was thinking I could just cut them down to 3/4 lengths and sew the seams up myself. Would this work?? Considering my experience of sewing anything other than a button is absolute zero....

the stitching strikes me as a bit special to resist all the stretching and stress of pulling them on and off

something elastic perhaps

and isn;t there some sort of gripper at the bottom?

Why not just use longer socks or try and find some longer overshoes?

Hey Frazer...maybe you can post me the bits you cut off so i can sew them onto my 3/4 lengths if I ever get the dam things!

As Tynan said - it will work but only if you use elastic thread.
